An engaging look at one of the central motifs in the work of the
great 19th-century painter Widely considered Britain's greatest
painter, Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) is best known
for his light-filled landscapes and seascapes. A relentless
traveler, Turner often turned his artistic attention to the theme
of modern and ancient ports. In the mid-1820s, Turner exhibited two
monumental, and controversial, paintings of ports: Cologne and
Dieppe. Shocking for their intense luminosity and yellow tonality,
as well as for Turner's unorthodox handling of paint, these works
marked a transition in the artist's career as he moved away from
naturalism and toward a new, poetic topography. This in-depth study
of these two seminal paintings also addresses a wide selection of
Turner's works in both oil and watercolor from the 1820s, placing
them in the context of radical changes in British social and
economic structures taking place at the time. Drawing from period
travel accounts, contemporary critical commentary, and new
technical analyses of Turner's work, this magnificently illustrated
book brings a fresh, new perspective to the pivotal middle years of
Turner's career. Published in association with The Frick Collection
