In 1802, at the age of 26, Joseph Mallord William Turner became the
youngest ever member of the Royal Academy. A prolific painter and
watercolourist, his paintings began by combining great historical
themes with the inspired visions of nature, but his experimentation
with capturing the effects of light led him swiftly towards an
unusual dissolution of forms. Turner was a constant traveller, not
only within the British Isles but also throughout Europe, from the
Alps to the banks of the Rhine, from northern France to Rome and
Venice. His death in 1851 revealed not only his zealously guarded
private life but also a will that left both his fortune and more
than thirty thousand drawings, watercolours and paintings to the
nation. In this profusely illustrated book, Olivier Meslay invites
us to follow the development of Turner's incandescent art, a bridge
between Romanticism and Impressionism and one of Britain's most
remarkable contributions to art history.
