Turner's debut in China

Classic works of the great British painter Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) make their debut in Beijing at the National Art Museum of China until June 28.

The exhibition, Turner from the Tate Collection, is a veritable feast of 112 works created in different periods, including oil paintings and watercolors. The main themes are landscapes and seascapes, some of which are based on historical events.

The masterpiece, Snow Storm: Hannibal and His Army Crossing the Alps, unfolds a scene of war with a magnificent view of dark mountains and blizzard-obscured sky.
