I wonder what JMW Turner thought of scenes inspired by the French painter #Watteau on #Meissen porcelain? It is known that Turner was an admirer of Watteau and may have seen such porcelain at his friends and patrons houses. Who knows?

Here is my artist take on the rear of Turner’s House (Sandycombe Lodge). 4 different colorations of the same scene. Turner often returned to the same place several times, sometimes years apart, to draw from the same vantage point. I hope you like! #TurnersHouse @RitaPiglionica

Three items of Meissen porcelain from a tea service with merchant navy scenes in iron red
All items finely painted with detailed harbour scenes within opulent gold and purple lustre cartouches, the saucer with a rare nocturnal landscape with a camp fire in the foreground.

A very rare Meissen porcelain pipe, c. 1735. Coat of arms of Clemens August von Bayern (1700-1761). He was renowned to this day for his patronage of the arts, his elegant court, & his magnificent castles, such as Augustusburg & Falkenlust in Brühl, & Clemenswerth near Osnabrück.

#JMWTurner was critical of Nicolas Poussin’s ‘Winter (The Duluge)’ which he saw lacking drama with the figures stiff and the scene sterile. However, he found the colouring ‘sublime’. Turner painted his own ‘Deluge’, exhibited at the RA in 1805 which was full of tragedy and drama.

‘All his life #Turner believed that (Thomas) Girtin was the one living artist who could match if not better his own work’. Girtin died in 1802 & was laid to rest at St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden. Turner’s mother was been buried there in 1804, followed by his father in 1830.

A gorgeous watercolour and pencil drawing of Rochester Castle by Thomas Girtin (1775-1802). JMW Turner was greatly saddened by his early death and regarded him as his only equal.

#ChiswickHouse deserves to be recognised as one of the greatest & earliest examples of #Masonic architecture in the world, & one whose ceiling paintings & dimensions sets it apart as a building dedicated to the origins & symbolism of the #Craft. @Chiswick_House @Freemasonry2day

4 of 5 Roman #capriccio in the Great Hall at #MarbleHill House. Commissioned by Henrietta Howard in 1738, they were painted by the Italian artist Giovanni Paolo #Panini to fit the gilded frames. They were dispersed c.1900 & reacquired from 1984 @MHrevived @EnglishHeritage

Some seldom seen statues that were once in the garden at @Chiswick_House Wolf & Boar once guarded the rear of the house (now at Chatsworth). A statue of #Venus stood to the east of the villa, to be later replaced by that of #Mercury (Venus was repositioned on the Doric column)
