Uncover the ways Turner's extensive travels around Europe inspired his art
Turner first travelled outside Britain in the summer of 1802, when he was 27. Funded by a group of patrons, he visited Switzerland and France, studying in the Louvre in Paris. The Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815) prevented foreign travel. From 1817 Turner explored France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, Denmark, Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), Switzerland and, most notably, Italy.
Turner made his first trip to Italy in 1819. The historical monuments and works of art, the scenery and light hugely inspired him. He returned to Italy a number of times, including extended visits to Venice, Rome and Naples.
Travel was difficult and expensive at the start of Turner’s career. He often journeyed on foot or by horse-drawn coach, with sketchbooks and drawing materials as his main baggage. With the introduction of steam power, travel times greatly reduced. When Turner landed in Calais in 1802, he had already been travelling for several days since leaving London. By the 1830s he could board a steamboat near London Bridge and be in France, Belgium or the Netherlands in a few hours.

See British artworks from 1730–1765, including paintings by Hogarth
During this period, artists who were born in Britain became successful for the first time. Artists such as William Hogarth were popular around the world. Hogarth is viewed by many as the founder of a British tradition of painting.
The art works in this room were created at a time Britain started to become powerful throughout the world. The strength of the navy, and the beginnings of the industrial revolution, led to the establishment of Britain as a global empire. During the reign of George II, Britain fought wars with Spain and France. The country possessed colonies in North America, islands in the Caribbean and parts of India.
