Turner Bequest XVII I
Display caption
Turner trained as an architectural draughtsman, and most of his work during the 1790s featured historic buildings. This watercolour, which was made during these years, seems
to have been torn from a sketchbook. It combines an interest in the ‘picturesque’ elements of run-down rustic buildings with the historic interest of old ruins.
