J.M.W. Turner at the Metropolitan Museum

“Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps” by artist Joseph William Mallord Turner.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “J.M.W. Turner” is a beast of a show. With nearly 150 works in oil and watercolor spanning more than half a century, it will either win you over or wear you out. Or it will alternate, gallery by gallery, or wall by wall, as the art swings between overblown and moving, inspired and mechanical. LINK
