Turner’s Sussex takes place in Petworth’s newly refurbished Exhibition Gallery in its historic Servants’ Quarters building. The works on display, mainly drawings and watercolours, represent the wide ranging importance of Sussex to Turner’s art. Highlights include: • a group of the famous small watercolour sketches on blue paper, now largely held at Tate Britain, which were made of Petworth House and Park in 1827, Turner’s pencil sketch of Petworth House, which he made in the park in 1809, displayed for the first time alongside the finished oil painting he made from it • iconic views of Arundel, Ashburnham, Rye and Hastings • rarely seen works showing many Sussex locations including Brighton, Chichester, Lewes and Shoreham Visitors to the exhibition will also have a rare ‘behind the scenes’ opportunity to see the Old Library, used by Turner as a studio and not normally open to the public.
