Original painting materials once owned by a renowned landscape artist will go on display at a stately home.

The new exhibition about JMW Turner will open on Saturday at Petworth House – a place the artist regularly visited.

It will include oil and watercolour paintings from collections at the Tate Gallery and the V&A, as well as brushes, a folding travelling palette and a pocket paint-book caked in watercolour.

Turner is regarded as one of this country’s greats and was introduced to a new audience last year via Mike Leigh’s award-winning film.

Turner visited the 17th century house many times throughout his life and completed a number of works between 1809 and 1837. During those years he visited as a guest of the owner, the 3rd Earl of Egremont.

Andrew Loukes, curator of collections and exhibitions at Petworth House, said: “Turner is an important part of the story at Petworth House.

“We are thrilled to be able to mount this celebration of his life with an exhibition exploring major themes of the film, such as travel, patronage, science, the Royal Academy and colour.”

A fishing rod Turner used at the house’s lake, his signet ring, a gold watch and a selection of his books and maps will feature.

Rarely-seen portraits of Turner, including one by John Phillip, which is possibly the last painted image before his death, will also be on display.

There will be a mock-up of his studio which will include paintings by actor Timothy Spall – created while he trained for his role as Turner in the film Four costumes from the film and a behind-the-scenes short video of the making of Mr Turner at Petworth House will also be available.

Speaking about Petworth, film director Mike Leigh said: “Petworth is such an extraordinary and rarefied place. When you’re in a place like Petworth you really do experience some kind of magic.”

The exhibition will run until Wednesday, March 11.
