CINCINNATI, OHIO — The Taft Museum of Art will present the exhibition, “Turner Watercolors from the Taft Collections” on view February 29–May 4 in the Keystone Gallery.

Along with two major oil paintings, one from early in his career and one late, the Taft Museum of Art holds ten watercolors by James Mallord William Turner (British, 1775–1851).

Spanning the first half of the Nineteenth Century, these watercolors depict landscapes of Switzerland, Germany, England, Scotland and Italy. Historically, they broke new ground in the artistic fields of book illustration, travel views and the watercolor medium itself.

The Taft Museum of Art is at 316 Pike Street downtown. For information, 513-241-0343 or www.taftmuseum
