WG Rawlinson was a passionate art collector and connoisseur of JMW Turner's masterpieces. In 1909, he embarked on a journey to various picturesque locations, immersing himself in the beauty captured by the renowned artist. From Launceston to Scarborough, Barnard Castle to Venice, Rawlinson sought out these exquisite landscapes that had inspired Turner's brushstrokes. In Lausanne and Petworth, Rawlinson witnessed the breathtaking play of light as evening descended upon serene lakeshores. The tranquility of Tells Chapel in Fluelen and Bellinzona's captivating road to Locarno left him captivated by their timeless charm. Among his travels, Norham Castle stood tall against the backdrop of nature's grandeur while Lulworth Cove revealed its hidden secrets within its rugged cliffs. Stonehenge at sunset evoked a sense of mystery and wonder as ancient stones bathed in golden hues. Rawlinson found solace in Lucerne's enchanting vistas where mountains kissed the sky and crystal-clear waters mirrored their majesty. Each painting acquired became more than just an artwork; it became a portal through which he could relive those moments forever. As WG Rawlinson delved into Turner's world during his 1909 expedition, he discovered not only the genius behind each stroke but also his own profound connection with nature's splendor. These paintings now serve as testaments to both artists' legacies—a testament to their shared love for capturing fleeting beauty on canvas for generations to come.
