M. W. Turner\u2019s Romantic Winter Watercolors Go On View in Edinburgh and Dublin"},"content":{"rendered":"

W. Turner (1775\u20131851) are on view, gifts to both institutions from one of Victorian Britain\u2019s greatest art collectors, Henry Vaughan.<\/p>\n

Born in 1809, Vaughan became rich in 1828, when his father, a hat manufacturer, died. He used the sizable inheritance to fill his grand London<\/a> house with paintings by Rubens, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Reynolds, Gainsborough, and Constable. Turner, however, was his favorite artist.<\/p>\n
