Did you know that Turner’s father Old Dad had a hairdressing business? This wasn’t a good day for him #onthisday in 1795 when a tax on hair powder was introduced, having a big impact on Turner’s father’s #hairdressing business.

Every week is a way to express ourselves. Saying something through paint is a great medium if we cannot say them with words.
“It doesn’t matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.” – Jackson Pollock

Turner used to say that he was born #onthisday in 1775. Might it be for the link with #StGeorge, or #Shakespeare? Certainly, he was born at 21 Maiden Lane in Covent Garden.

#OnThisDay in 1793, #Turner and four other students were invited to make a #drawing at the #SocietyoftheArts to prove their abilities. All are successful and awarded a medal: the Great Silver Palette. #funfact #arthistory #jmwturner #history #art

We cannot wait to welcome you to the new exhibition in May! It consists of eleven Turner watercolours and engravings. They were painted when at his most popular, a pivotal time in Turner’s career during which he lived at Sandycombe Lodge.

🥚 HAPPY EASTER 🐰

#DidYouKnow the first mention of egg shaped candies came in 1820 from Guglielmo Jarrin, a self described “ornamental confectioner”. Creating these eggs was a difficult business and would have only been attempted by only the most skilled confectioner.

#Easter

03/04/2021

During #Turner’s times and much like today, ham and lamb were considered the #traditional meats to eat during #Easter lunch.

The lamb was eaten to remember Jesus' sacrifice. Ham was eaten as it is seasonal meat. Farmers would cure the ham during the #winter months, and by #spring it was ready to consume.

Our first talk given by Andrew Loukes entitled 'Turner’s House of Art: Turner at Petworth' is to be delivered next Tuesday at 7pm!

#OnThisDay in 1800 George Dance makes a drawing of Turner; one of very few portraits for which Turner is known to have given a sitting.

We are fortunate enough to have a print of this portrait within the house!

Did you know? In 1817 Turner visited the battlefield of Waterloo. During this time he filled his sketchbook with drawings, notes, and sketches of the soldier's uniform in preparation for his awe-inspiring painting of the battlefield.
