<p>Turner produced the majority of his watercolour sketches of Venice on his third trip to the city in 1840. This almost monochrome study reveals the complete assurance of Turner's watercolour technique. Here he allows the unpainted white of the paper to suggest the brilliance of reflected light, a process that meant anticipating the effect he hoped to achieve before he put paint to paper.</p><p><em>Gallery label, August 2004</em></p>
