Reviews
J.M.W. Turner's oeuvre is so massive that a never-ending spate of thematically organized books continue to appear. Having produced books on Turner's bird studies and landscapes of Northern England and the Alps, Hill weighs in with another winning subject, the painter's views of England's most famous river. The author skillfully intertwines Turner's life, painting, and the history of the Thames to produce a book that is handsome and scholarly. A London man, Turner found opportunities to travel, sketch, and paint along the river's banks. However, his move into Syon Ferry House in 1805 was the true starting point for extensive attempts to capture the artistic mood of the river outside his door. The many illustrations reveal the fruits of his efforts, and the final section on the Isleworth Sketchbooks provides insightful imagery. Essential for academic and specialized art collections and recommended to those documenting British culture.
