Turner and the Masters
Jerónimos Building. Room A and B
Having already been seen in London and Paris, Turner and the Masters will now be shown at the Museo del Prado in Madrid. Its aim is to reveal to visitors the extent of Turner’s links with other historically important artists and the profoundly original way in which he assimilated their influence. This comparison will assist in an understanding of how Turner’s approach to and assimilation of other artists was intended not just as an homage to them but also involved a subtle and highly original type of transformation of their teachings.

The 19th-20th centuries French painting
This exhibition presents remarkable paintings, which nobody has ever seen. They belonged to private collections and were on display in separate exhibitions. During the SWW the paintings were hidden and after the war they were taken in the Soviet Union like many other displaced works of art. In 1950 a cosiderable number of items, which had been taken away, was transfered to Germany. On display are only some of the items, which the Soviet state left and kept in closed museum repositories.
