Secondary
Turner Student Learning Program
Turner is regarded as one of the greatest landscape painters. His poetic
interpretation of nature was revolutionary.
This exhibition provides students an insight into Turner’s ability to capture the atmospheric
impression of light, as well as life and events of the 18th century to mid-19th century. Students
can explore how Turner represented the turbulent times of slavery, migration, industrial
revolution, conflicts and modernisation.
