Lost for over 150 years, one of JMW Turner’s earliest oil paintings is about to go on display at London’s Sotheby’s before being auctioned.
Titled ‘The Rising Squall, Hot Wells, from St Vincent’s Rock, Bristol’, it depicts a dramatic stormy scene engulfing Hot Wells House in Bristol, UK - as seen from the east bank of the River Avon, where the Clifton Suspension Bridge now sits.
