Extensive journeys in Britain and continental Europe provided an
inexhaustible source of inspiration for the visionary colour
composi-tions of J. M. William Turner. In Switzerland he
experienced the beauty and menace of the Alps, and by the sea the
colourful harmonies of the diffuse light. The publication presents
an incomparably original artist on his route to autonomy in art.
The temporary peace on the continent from 1802 enabled the London
artist to extend his search for motifs to Central Europe. In
particular he travelled through the mountain world of Switzerland,
constantly sketching his impressions. Back in his studio, he
developed the unique imagery of his sublime landscape paintings.
Through pictures which tell of the forces of nature of the sea and
of the Swiss mountain landscapes, the authors examine the change in
the portrayal of the "sublime", the subject of weather phenomena
and Turner's role as the forerunner of Modernism, while Cees
Nooteboom reflects on Turner and travel.
