See one of the stars of the city’s visual art collection.
Turner travelled through Mâcon in Burgundy during the grape harvest in 1802. This painting supposedly depicts the festival which accompanied the harvest, but is actually a view of the Thames from Richmond Hill in Surrey. It’s no less impressive for it though, and ones one of the real highlights of our Landscapes display.
