James Mallord William Turner has been termed England`s greatest painters. In a career that spanned the late eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth, he painted landscapes - luminous, mystic visions of nature - that forecast some of the most avant-garde of twentieth-century panting, frequently leaping beyond the Impressionists. The treatment of light in Turner`s work, seen especially in the lemons, golds and rusts of his sunrises and sunsets or in the blues of his seas and mountains, has captivated generations of art lovers.

This volume`s forty-four colorplates and fifty black-and-while reproductions present a selection of the most significant and appealing oil paintings, watercolors, engravings, and drawings of Turner`s lifework. The scenes range from England`s seacoast, lake country, abbeys, and castles, to the Egypt of Biblical times and visions from Homers`s Odyssey, and to the canals and piazzas of Venice, the peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, and fishing boats along the Dutch coast.
