Book excerpt: The life of one of Western art's most admired and misunderstood painters J.M.W. Turner is one of the most important figures in Western art, and his visionary work paved the way for a revolution in landscape painting. Over the course of his lifetime, Turner strove to liberate painting from an antiquated system of patronage. Bringing a new level of expression and color to his canvases, he paved the way for the modern artist. Turner was very much a man of his changing era. In his lifetime, he saw Britain ravaged by Napoleonic wars, revived by the Industrial Revolution, and embarked upon a new moment of Imperial glory with the ascendancy of Queen Victoria. His own life embodied astonishing transformation. Born the son of a barber in Covent Garden, he was buried amid pomp and ceremony in St. Paul's Cathedral. Turner was accepted into the prestigious Royal Academy at the height of the French Revolution when a climate of fear dominated Britain. Unable to travel abroad he explored at home, reimagining the landscape to create some of the most iconic scenes of his country. But his work always had a profound human element. When a moment of peace allowed travel into Europe, Turner was one of the first artists to capture the beauty of the Alps, to revive Venice as a subject, and to follow in Byron’s footsteps through the Rhine country. While he was commercially successful for most of his career, Turner's personal life remained fraught. His mother suffered from mental illness and was committed to Bedlam. Turner never married but had several long-term mistresses and illegitimate daughters. His erotic drawings were numerous but were covered up by prurient Victorians after his death. Turner's late, impressionistic work was held up by his Victorian detractors as example of a creeping madness. Affection for the artist’s work soured. John Ruskin, the greatest of all 19th century art critics, did what he could to rescue Turner’s reputation, but Turner’s very last works confounded even his greatest defender. TURNER humanizes this surprising genius while placing him in his fascinating historical context. Franny Moyle brilliantly tells the story of the man to give us an astonishing portrait of the artist and a vivid evocation of Britain and Europe in flux.

Book excerpt: From the PREFACE: IF for one reason only, it is justifiable to present a fresh view of Turner's life. His biographers, whilst rendering due homage to the artist, have done scant justice to the man; exaggerating his faults, making much of his rough outside manners, but too little of his fine inner qualities and of the force of his intellect. Mr. Thornbury's book is a medley of facts, conjectures, and stories, authentic or otherwise, presented in a form perplexing to the reader. Mr. Hamerton's is full of generous appreciation, but was avowedly written with the object of proving from Turner's paintings his own pet heresy that Art has nothing to do with the representation of nature. Mr. Cosmo Monkhouse's is charming both in matter and style, but, unfortunately, shares with Mr. Thornbury's and Mr. Hamerton's one grave defect. One and all, they repeat statements reflecting on the character of Turner which have their origin in mere gossip, and which, even if true, would better have been left untold. That Turner had his failings cannot be denied, but it should be urged on his behalf that he lived in an age when such faults were lightly regarded and lightly excused. Modern biographers seem to assume that it is for them to anticipate a judgment day and to disclose every petty fault, every serious failing of personal character. The poet, painter, musician, who spends his life in enriching the world with the fruits of his genius, is shown unclothed in the full light of day, so that none may fail to mark and condemn whatever blot can be discovered on him. Turner's biographers have made it a point of conscience to tell the worst of him; to bring out clearly every spot on the face of the sun. It may be right to paint the wart on the nose of a Cromwell, to dissect the moral nature of ruler or statesman who has had to lay down the law for nations ; but the artist — be he poet, painter, or musician — whose works give light and refinement to life, may claim from us a sacred reserve. It should be enough if we reveal those traits of his character which touch his work, and record those incidents in his intercourse with others which show the true nature of the man, and, as far as may be, recall him to life. Many facts and incidents set out in these pages have been gathered from the works of previous biographers — Messrs. Thornbury, Hamerton, and Cosmo Monkhouse. Frequent references to Mr. Ruskin, and quotations from his works, have been almost necessary. No life of Turner could be written without continual allusion to the opinions and language of the great English author, who made the painter and his art a life-long study, and who, beyond all others, understood and appreciated both.
