What’s more, “The Rising Squall” isn’t the only lost Turner masterwork to be rediscovered in recent years. In early 2025, it was announced that a supposed John Ruskin piece submitted to an online appraisal service was actually a forgotten Turner watercolor. And in 2024, a watercolor bought by a family in England in 1990 was found to be a lost Turner from 1795.
