Turner in his Time

Superb colour plates illuminate Turner''s range - dramatic views of the sea and mountains, sweeping landscapes, architecture, scenes of myth and ledgend, panoramas of contemporary towns - while the fruits of his travels, not just over Britain but also in Europe, are presented in the context of his life. The text builds up a picture in the round of a man of many secrets - using Turner''s own writings, his letters, notes and verse, recorded impressions by his contemporaries, and reviews of his exhibited works.
