<p>By the 1840s, Napoleon’s career had featured in Turner’s output for over 30 years. This is one of a series of late watercolour sketches, some of them inscribed with the letter ‘N’, in which Turner developed further Napoleonic ideas. It may represent Napoleon’s visit to Koblenz in 1804. Turner travelled on the new road Napoleon’s engineers had constructed.</p><p><em>Gallery label, November 2022</em></p>
