Turner's Watercolors at Chiostro del Bramante: Curator Interview

A major retrospective of J.M.W. Turner's watercolors opened at Chiostro del Bramante in Rome, curated by David Blayney Brown of Tate Britain. The exhibition focuses on Turner's private, experimental works from his own collection, tracing his evolution as a watercolorist and the interplay between watercolor and oil. Brown highlights Turner's universal appeal, his influence on artists from Impressionists to Mark Rothko, and the immediacy of his private works. The show includes Roman subjects like the Arch of Constantine, exhibited in Rome in 1828, and Venetian views. Natalia de Marco, artistic director of Chiostro del Bramante, announced a new partnership with Tate Britain, with future projects planned. A special immersive installation by video artist Fabien Iliou and sound designer Paky di Maio, titled 'Memorie di Bamburgh,' accompanies the exhibition. The show runs until August 26 and is exclusive to Chiostro del Bramante.
