Turner painting exhibition and upcoming London auction

Overview

J. M. W. Turner’s 1836 landscape painting, ‘Rome, from Mount Aventine’, is undergoing a series of public exhibitions before a scheduled auction at Sotheby’s in London on December 9.

The artwork is currently being displayed at Palazzo Rondinini in Rome for a three-day public viewing. Sotheby’s has characterized this exhibition as a ‘homecoming’ because the piece was inspired by Turner’s studies in Italy between 1828 and 1829. Following its time in Rome, the painting is expected to tour Hong Kong and New York.

Valued between £50 million and £66 million (approximately 50 million euros), the painting is noted for its exceptional preservation, remaining unlined with its original frame. If the auction reaches its estimated value, it would set a record price for the artist. Sotheby’s describes the work as one of Turner’s most significant paintings still held in private hands.
