The first half of this book is a detailed exploration of Turner's
life and background. It begins with his early years in London,
where he exhibited paintings in the window of his father's barber
shop. Through his travels in Europe, copying and studying the old
masters, Turner was largely self-taught until he enrolled at the
Royal Academy. In 1796 one of his first oil paintings was hung
there, and his success culminated in the opening of his own
gallery. The second half of the book is a collection of his
original works. These superb reproductions are accompanied by
analysis of each painting and its significance regarding Turner's
life, the period in which it was executed, his technique and his
body of work as a whole. This reference book is essential for
anyone who wants to learn more about one of the finest landscape
painters in English history.
