The National Trust and Petworth House will be putting on an exhibition in June to mark the 250th anniversary of JMW Turner's birth.

According to their website:

For the first time in 20 years, a wide range of JMW Turner’s artistic studies of the Petworth landscape will be exhibited in the very place that inspired him. Visitors will be able to discover more about his approach, and the impact of Petworth’s extraordinary landscape on Britain’s most celebrated artist.

Turner’s Vision at Petworth will include 10 views of the Petworth landscape, including oil paintings and works on paper on loan from Tate, that give a unique insight into his methods and artistic inspiration. They tell the story of Turner’s connection with the landscape, and with George O’Brien Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont (1751-1837) who collected many of his works. This exhibition is a celebration of an extraordinary landscape seen through the eyes of a master painter.

The show will run from 21st June until 16th November 2025.
