The National Gallery Complex in Edinburgh, Scotland will host its annual display of watercolours by Turner throughout January.

A yearly tradition, the exhibition will include 28 works which were bequeathed in 1900 by Henry Vaughan, a London art collector who amassed a collection of paintings by the 19th century British painter.

In his will, Henry Vaughan stipulated that the Turner watercolours must not be put on permanent display as continual exposure to light would result in their fading.

Though the technology now exists to protect these vulnerable works, Vaughan ruled that the collection could only be shown in January when daylight is at its weakest. As a result, the annual exhibition is among the most popular features at the National Gallery.
