Book excerpt: J. M. W. Turner is undoubtedly one of the greatest British artists of all time. The originality of his paintings – despite the fact he worked quickly – is brilliant and unrivaled. He became a successful artist at a young age and went on to become a prominent member of the Royal Academy. Brought up in London, very near the River Thames, he became fascinated with the river and its vessels early in life. Water and ships were to remain one of his biggest influences, and many of his 20,000 or so works are dedicated to seascapes. Turner was keen to experience as many influences as possible and he traveled extensively across the British Isles and Europe in search of inspiration. Turner made money from working in the evenings for Dr. Monro, who ran a studio where the young student would copy the works of other artists. Between the ages of 14 and 24, Turner not only worked and studied hard, but also found he had an aptitude for learning quickly. Turner’s working methods were a closely guarded secret, however, his extensive travels and the sketches he made in his notebooks do reveal a little of how he chose to operate. It was these sketches that would form the basis for many topographical watercolors. By the end of the 19th century (at the age of 25), Turner was financially independent. In 1802, Turner was admitted as a full member of the Royal Academy – to whom he remained loyal all his life – and six years later was made professor of perspective. His career began with precise records of picturesque scenes, but he developed into an artist of incredible imagination. He is considered a genius when it comes to landscapes and was much more interested in the light that illuminated his canvases than the subjects that he used these lighting effects on. His creations served as powerful and overwhelming images of nature and the impact it had on destiny. He devoted himself from the start to landscape paintings. Turner associated London and the River Thames with other great cities including Paris and the Seine, and Venice and the canals. He was also taken with Rome, in Italy, and the Carthage. He had a great fascination for ships and vessels on the water and had an esteemed nautical knowledge. Many commentators state that Turner’s technique in oils can be attributed to the experiments he carried out with watercolors – he remained faithful to both mediums – while he developed his individual style of whirling, evident in many of his paintings, particularly his seascapes to depict storms and other weather conditions. His whirling technique was extremely effective in his raging seas with surging waves, and this energy was transferred to the canvas and often referred to as sublime.

Download or read book Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly written by Kirsty Fergusson and published by Bradt Travel Guides. This book was released on 2023-09-08 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly updated and significantly expanded in this new fourth edition, Bradt’s Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly (Slow Travel) is the most well-established guide to a perennially popular British county. Offering in-depth exploration of both frequently visited and less-well-known destinations that will interest locals as much as newcomers, it is written in a friendly, engaging style and includes up-to-date listings of the best (and sometimes least obvious) places to eat, drink and sleep, appealing to all budgets. Long popular with discerning travellers and foodies, the boom in staycations and coverage in TV dramas such as Poldark mean that Cornwall enjoys ever-increasing acclaim as a healthy, wholesome destination. Few places offer such geographical diversity: rugged, storm-lashed north coast and wide, sandy beaches favoured by surfers lie barely a few miles from the south’s sheltered creeks, coves and exotic gardens. Wild moorland is dotted with Neolithic standing stones and mining heritage. And, just 28 miles from Land’s End, the Isles of Scilly offer an exhilarating blend of tropical exoticism and wild isolation. Cornwall thus possesses an enduring appeal as a year-round destination for visitors of all ages and interests. But such popularity makes it all too easy to overlook the diverse character of the county and its less obvious destinations – which is why taking a Slow approach is so rewarding. As local residents have discovered, treasures of all kinds are revealed when you ditch the car and start investigating what lies immediately beyond the doorstep. Explore the ‘Cornish Alps’, the lonely Rame peninsula, secret beaches or stone circles lost amid remote-feeling uplands. Glimpse the future of sustainable technologies at the Eden Project. Listen to world-class musicians playing in tiny rural churches. Celebrate the comeback of the chough, Cornwall’s emblematic bird. Wander around Bodmin Moor’s Kerdroya, a classical labyrinth built of Cornish stone hedging. Discover where oysters are still harvested in the traditional way and where the best Cornish ice creams, pasties and cider are made. The ideal companion for a visit, Bradt’s Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly (Slow Travel) is an invitation to imbibe the region’s rich, diverse delights.

Book excerpt: "J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) is widely regarded as the greatest painter Britain has ever produced. Despite the many books and exhibitions that have been devoted to him, there is one aspect of his extraordinary oeuvre that has never been thoroughly examined. Uniquely in the history of European art, he took on all comers, past and present, that he considered worthy of a challenge, creating his own images in their styles. These works were both acts of homage and a sophisticated form of art criticism, demonstrating his understanding of great art and his ability to equal or better the most celebrated exponents of the landscape tradition. No artist, however revered, was considered beyond challenge. This unique habit is clearly a key to understanding Turner's art, yet the issue is one that has so far never been thoroughly addressed on Turner and on British art of the 18th and 19th centuries. In "Turner and the Masters" leading authorities explore this fascinating aspect of his career, revealing new detail on the debts and rivalries that shaped his work in often unexpected ways. Accompanying a major touring exhibition that brings together works by Turner with masterpieces by Claude, Canaletto, Ruisdael, Van de Velde, Poussin, Rubens and Rembrandt, as well as by Turner's contemporaries including Constable and Bonnington, this book firmly positions Turner in the company of the greatest painters of all time. The contributors include Guillaume Faroult, Sarah Monks, Martin Myrone, Kathleen Nicholson, Philippa Simpson and Ian Warrell." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book The Turner Book written by Sam Smiles and published by Tate. This book was released on 2006 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.M.W. Turner was a fascinating and enigmatic figure. Both astonishingly prolific and extraordinarily innovative, he is widely seen as the greatest British landscape painter of them all, anticipating and surpassing the Impressionists in his dramatic interpretations of the effects of light and colour. The Turner Book goes beyond the usual interpretations of the artist, revealing the extraordinary self-belief and ambition that allowed him to continue steadfastly with his experimentation in the face of hostile critical attack. The book examines in detail key works and the techniques by which Turner realised them and features revealing extracts from his notebooks, travel journals and poetry. Beautifully illustrated with both famous and unknown works and ranging over the entire course of the artist's career, this is the essential guide to Turner's life and work. Sam Smiles is Professor of Art History at the University of Plymouth at Exeter and the author of numerous acclaimed books, including J.M.W. Turner, Two-way Traffic: British Art and Italian Art 1880-1980 and The Image of Antiquity: Ancient Britain and the Romantic Imagination.
