Lost Turner oil painting, "The Rising Squall," found after 150 years, to be auctioned at Sotheby's with an estimated value of up to £300,000. The painting, depicting a former hot spring in Bristol before the Clifton Suspension Bridge was built, showcases Turner's early style as a teenage artist experimenting with oil painting. After being lost for over a century, the artwork will be displayed in a public exhibition in London before the auction. This discovery sheds light on Turner's early career and artistic journey.
