The National Gallery, London: Western European painting 1250–1900 British Museum - Welcome to the British Museum London Transport Museum Liverpool museums - National Museums Liverpool Turner and the Masters This unforgettable show places beautiful masterpieces by Canaletto, Rubens, Rembrandt and Titian next to some of J.M.W. Turner's most dramatic paintings. It shines light on a lesser-known side of the British Romantic painter: his obsession to prove he was just as good, if not better, than the old masters who he so admired. Turner was born into a working-class family and relentlessly pursued his ambition to be a great artist, once proclaiming, 'I am the great lion of the day.' This is the first exhibition ever to explore the full range of Turner's challenges to the past, and his fierce rivalry with his contemporaries.
