Description
Joseph Mallord William Turner was renowned for his vibrant landscapes and seascapes, earning him the title "painter of light". His artistic practice was deeply influenced by Claude Lorrain, a French painter whose works he encountered in salerooms and aristocratic collections. This book explores how Turner consistently sought to surpass Claude's achievements, producing idyllic views of the Thames valley that evoke the Roman Campagna. Turner's encounters with Claude's works had a lasting impact on his career, shaping his approach to capturing light and colour in his British landscapes. Despite paying homage to his master, Turner continually strived to go beyond Claude's accomplishments, resulting in a distinctive body of work that reflects his unique vision. This book examines the complex relationship between Turner and Claude, shedding new light on the artistic influences that shaped Turner's practice.
