J.M.W. Turner’s early 19th-century painting, Rome, from Mount Aventine, is being displayed in Rome for the first time ahead of an auction in London in December.
The exhibition offers a close-up view of the work in the city it depicts. The painting is expected to attract significant attention before it is offered for sale, with its value described as around £50m.
The display comes before the scheduled London auction in December. No further details about the sale or the painting’s ownership were provided in the available information.
At this stage, it is known that Rome, from Mount Aventine is an early 19th-century Turner painting and that its first display in the Italian capital will precede its auction in London.
