Turner: Light, Sea & Steam

The Merryfold Art Library

Turner at the point where the subject starts dissolving into weather. Sixty plates covering the late marine paintings, the steam and railway pictures, and the storm studies, with commentary on how he got light to behave — the scraped-back grounds, the thin glazes over thick impasto, and the decision to let a ship be a smudge if the air demanded it.
