Sir David Attenborough says exhibition of Thames oil paintings at restored Sandycombe Lodge pays ‘proper respect’ to artist
Oil paintings by JMW Turner have gone on display in the artist’s former west London home for the first time since 1826.
The exhibition, at the meticulously restored Sandycombe Lodge in Twickenham, which was designed by Turner himself, was opened on Friday by Sir David Attenborough. The broadcaster and naturalist described Turner as “one of the great figures of western painting”.
