<p>These two watercolours were painted  on the same batch of paper. They show how Turner responded to the expressive possibilities in his materials. In both  works he is less concerned with  creating an exact sense of place,  than with evoking the stormy weather  he frequently encountered during  his travels in the Alps.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
