Lost Turner oil painting found after 150 years
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.
