The exhibition "Turner to Impressionists-Collection of British Landscape Paintings" is the first in Korea to focus on the British landscape in 18~19 century. It features 116 artworks by over 80 artists including not only Turner, Constable, Millais but also French impressionists influenced by the British landscapes, just like, Gauguin, Bonnard, Pissarro and so on.
Landscape became a staple of British artists during the Romantic period, with two of the greatest geniuses of British painting - John Constable and J. M. W. Turner. Each goes on to pioneer new ways of looking at the landscape and establishing a distinctive and powerfully individual style of working. Of the two, Turner was more wide-ranging, both in the variety of styles that he adopted, but also in terms of his peripatetic roaming around the British Isles and Europe. Constable, by contrast, rooted himself in particular parts of the British landscape, being content to paint the same topography - even from the same vantage-point and showing the same main elements -again and again.
* Opening hours: From Monday to Sunday, AM 11:00~ PM 08:00
