Turner (1775-1851) is considered Britains greatest painter. While he is best known for his stunning oils  Turner also created major works in watercolor  many of which rival his oils in their breadth of scale  depth of tone  richness of color  and wealth of detail. This handsome volume  published on the 150th anniversary of Turners death to accompany an unparalleled exhibition of his finished watercolors at the Royal Academy of Arts  London  is a milestone in Turner scholarship. Eric Shanes  a well-known expert on Turner and curator of the related exhibition  places the artists watercolors in the wider context of his painted work and provides individual commentaries on the approximately 200 lush colorplates. Evelyn Joll investigates the market forces that brought Turners watercolors into being  while Andrew Wilton analyzes their extraordinary effect on the art of later watercolorists. Finally  Ian Warrell discusses the critical reception to the work of this prodigiously talented artist. Turner: The Great Watercolours will stand at the forefront of thinking on Turner for years to come. ERIC SHANES is a leading expert on Turner and founding editor of Turner Studies (1980-1991). EVELYN JOLL is an independent art historian based in London. IAN WARRELL is a curator at Tate Britain. ANDREW WILTON is keeper and senior research fellow  Tate Britain. 200 illustrations in full color  10 x 11\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946010439733,"sku":"ByrdShop_0810966344","price":108.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780810966345.jpg?v=1769919041","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/turner-the-great-watercolours","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
