J M W Turner and the Black Country

Speaker: Brendan Clifford

Voted Britain’s favourite artist in a 2004 BBC Poll, JMW Turner visited the Black Country and Birmingham area a couple of times during his life (1775-1851). The Talk covers the background of Turner’s interest in the area, the watercolours he produced and specifically the tangled tale of what happened to his watercolour of Dudley.
