Turner + Free Culthure Magazine

JOSEPH MALLORD WILLIAM TURNER (1775-1851) is one of the most revered names in the history of British art. Across a dazzling and prolific career spanning six decades, Turner continually broke new ground with his oils, watercolors, and prints. His evocative landscapes and dramatic marine paintings are widely considered the crowning achievement of British Romantic art. This richly illustrated volume explores the Yale Center for British Art’s renowned Turner holdings — the largest outside the United Kingdom. Engaging texts by Ian Warrell and Gillian Forrester, two leading authorities on Turner, immerse the reader in the artist’s career, including his innovative printmaking practice. Placing Turner’s work within its historical and cultural contexts, Turner celebrates afresh the artist’s unique and uncompromising vision.
