Full documented but written in a flowing and sympathetic manner, with a little more restraint than the same author's later work on Gainsborough. The book does not set out to be a full analysis of Turner's works, but the reader is signposted to other books which achieve that. Deals particularly well with the artistic and social milieu in which Turner worked in the first half of the 19th Century. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The definitive biography of Turner and a major source of inspiration for the acclaimed film Mr Turner, directed by Mike Leigh. 'With splendid clarity and shrewd humour, James Hamilton evokes the visceral world of a great artist and a fascinating character.' MIKE LEIGH J.M.W Turner exhibited his work proudly but was correspondingly reticent about his private life. In 1799, aged 24, he became an Associate of the Royal Academy at the youngest possible age. While influential collectors competed to buy his paintings, Turner travelled widely, observing landscape and people, and collecting material for a cycle of images that would come to express the collective identity of Britain. In this lucid blend of vibrant biography and acute art history, James Hamilton introduces Turner to a new generation of readers and paints a picture of a uniquely generous human being, a giant of the nineteenth century and a beacon for the twenty-first.
