Issued in conjunction with several 2013-2014 exhibitions of maritime scenes rendered by English landscape painter Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851). "Brings together many of Turner's most celebrated seascapes, from his transformative Academy paintings of the late 1790s and early 1800s to the compelling and provocative marine subjects he produced in the final years of his life. It reveals the full extent of the artist's engagement with the sea, foregrounding important but rarely seen paintings and throwing new light on some of his most iconic works, including The Wreck of a Transport Ship, The Battle Trafalgar and The Fighting 'Temeraire.'" The annotated and illustrated catalogue address 139 pieces. Includes a selected bibliography. A sizable and worthy addition to the Turner canon.
