Before We Start...

In this presentation we show that an oil painting which we have named 'Squall at St. Vincent's Rock, Bristol' is the lost JMW Turner picture 'The rising squall, hot wells, from St. Vincent's rock, Bristol' exhibited R.A. 1793.

! Please be aware !

Please be aware that:

'The rising squall, hot wells, from St. Vincent's rock, Bristol' is an oil painting; not a watercolour

and that misinformation that it is a watercolour is persistent; including otherwise respectable sources such as the Tate Gallery. This work was exhibited RA 1793, and the evidence that it was an oil painting is here.
