Turner's 'The Evening Star' | The National Gallery
'The Evening Star' by J.M.W Turner is one of the Gallery's most popular paintings, but this hasn't always been the case. Learn more about why this painting was once considered 'unexhibitable' and Turner's Bequest – the largest ever donation of works of art to the National Gallery – with Adult Leanring Programmer, Matthew Morgan. The National Gallery houses the national collection of paintings in the Western European tradition from the 13th to the 19th centuries.
