Synopsis

This revealing biography sheds new light on the complex life and motivations that drove the enigmatic British Romantic artist, J. M. W. Turner. By separating fact from fiction, the author paints an intimate portrait of the man, revealing his struggles and triumphs with greater nuance than previously possible. Often misunderstood and misrepresented by contemporaries and later biographers alike, this book explores the depth of Turner's intellectual power and the force of his character which drove him to express intense feeling in his dramatic and colorful landscape paintings, many of which hang in Britain's most prestigious galleries.
