👉 The exhibition features rare Turner watercolours inspired by his teenage explorations of the Avon Gorge. 👉 The watercolours reveal Turner's growing skill in architectural detail, natural observation, and dramatic composition. 👉 The exhibition is a thank you to the public who donated over £100,000 to support the museum's bid to acquire a recently discovered Turner painting of Bristol, The Rising Squall. 👉 The exhibition also features prints by Turner and watercolours of the gorge by the Bristol artist Samuel Jackson.
