Saturday 30 April 2005, 15.00–16.00

John House, co-curator of the exhibition and Walter H Annenberg, Professor at the Courtauld Institute of Art explore the show that unites JMW Turner, James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Claude Monet.

Each changed the course of landscape painting and this tour looks at the artistic dialogue between them. Views of the River Thames, the Seine and Venice reveal how the artists, faced with the effects of Industrialism and its pollution, experimented with innovative painting techniques. John House discusses these works, controversial in their own day but now seen as some of the most poetic, evocative images of nature ever produced.
