All Women are beautiful. Some women grab your imagination and never
let go. BrittaniLuv . . . in love with life with people people who
create and people who love people who create
The man behind the paintings: the extraordinary life of J. M. W
Turner, one of Britain's most admired, misunderstood and celebrated
artists J. M. W. Turner is Britain's most famous landscape painter.
Yet beyond his artistic achievements, little is known of the man
himself and the events of his life: the tragic committal of his
mother to a lunatic asylum, the personal sacrifices he made to
effect his stratospheric rise, and the bizarre double life he chose
to lead in the last years of his life. A near mythical figure in
his own lifetime, Franny Moyle tells the story of the man who was
considered visionary at best and ludicrous at worst. A resolute
adventurer, he found new ways of revealing Britain to the British,
astounding his audience with his invention and intelligence. Set
against the backdrop of the finest homes in Britain, the French
Revolution and the Industrial Revolution, this is an astonishing
portrait of one of the most important figures in Western art and a
vivid evocation of Britain and Europe in flux.
