The English Romantic artist Joseph Mallord William Turner
(1775-1851) was hailed as the "painter of light" for his
brilliantly colored landscapes and seascapes. He drew much
influence from the French painter Claude Lorrain (c. 1604/5?-1682),
who was a vital force in Turner's artistic practice from his
formative years until the end of his working life. So great was
Claude's influence that Turner stipulated in his will that his
works hang alongside Claude's in the National Gallery, London. This
book examines the ways in which Turner consistently strove to
confront Claude's achievement and legacy. He had encountered
Claude's works in salerooms and in the collections of his
aristocratic patrons, and applied what he had learned to the
British countryside, producing views of the Thames valley that
transform it into an idyllic pastoral scene reminiscent of the
Roman Campagna. For the balance of his career, Turner continued to
pit himself against Claude, paying homage even as he continually
sought to go beyond the accomplishments of his master.
