Turner: 1775-1851

Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851), known as “the painter of light,” transformed landscapes and seascapes with ravishing light and color that seem to blaze from the canvas. Working in print, watercolor, and oils, Turner infused traditional scenes with elemental force and life, anchoring his art in the River Thames and the sea while weaving in symbols of the Industrial Revolution—boats, trains, and human activity—that highlight the tension between civilization and nature. This book explores Turner’s vast and varied repertoire, introducing an artist who bridged classical tradition with bold modernism.
