Turner Bequest CCCLVII 2
Display caption
Turner's last visits to the Continent took place in 1845. These two studies were part of a sketchbook he used on his penultimate visit to France in May 1845, when he lingered on the coast north of Boulogne. Unusually for Turner, he dated a number of the sunset sketches he made on this trip, as if they held some special significance for him.
