Download or read book Turner on the Loire written by Ian Warrell and published by Tate Publishing(UK). This book was released on 1997 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Turner's 1826 journey through Brittany and up the River Loire, he filled several sketchbooks with hasty impressions of famous chateaux. Many of his sketches are identified and reproduced here for the first time, together with all of the justly celebrated watercolors that Turner produced to be engraved in 1833. Turner was at the forefront of an invasion of the Loire region by artists, most of whom were British, as is plain from illustrated examples by contemporaries such as Samuel Prout, William Callow, and Clarkson Stanfield, as well as views by French artists like Delacroix.

I cannot fail to obtain some employment in Nantes; and however small may be my gains, I shall save something; for I will live on little else than thoughts of you, which, though passing rich in themselves, will cost nothing. Only give me a year! Let me find you unchanged--here, on this very spot, and we shall still laugh at the world. "Alas, Victoire, I fear I shall never laugh again! My uncle seems resolved on my sacrifice; and without you--without a human being to befriend or countenance me--I tremble even for my own firmness." "Dear Adeline, they cannot force you to the altar! We do not marry in France as they do in Prussia, where the order of the great Frederick suffices equally well to inflict a spouse and the bastinado! Only be firm in your refusal, endure their taunts, be deaf to their entreaties, and when your thoughts vex you, send them to Nantes and to me." "I will try," said the girl, sobbing anew. "Try! You must promise--nay, swear!" "I do promise--I do swear!" "Then thus I seal the oath--and now good night; it will be time enough to-morrow to say farewell." The good night, however, was a long one; the lovers appearing to think, with Juliet, "--parting is such sweet sorrow, That I could say good night till it be morrow." "A pestilence on your adieus!" muttered the stranger at last, losing his temper--"What, again? Fie, fie! Will't not do yet? There--now home with you, in the devil's name, lest I knock your two heads together!" The loving couple at length separated, or, as the novelwriters say, "tore themselves away;" and the listener emerged from his concealment, and walked, with great strides, after the female. "The...

Download or read book The Life and Masterworks of J M W Turner written by Eric Shanes and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At fifteen, Turner was already exhibiting View of Lambeth. He soon acquired the reputation of an immensely clever watercolourist. A disciple of Girtin and Cozens, he showed in his choice and presentation of theme a picturesque imagination which seemed to mark him out for a brilliant career as an illustrator. He travelled, first in his native land and then on several occasions in France, the Rhine Valley, Switzerland and Italy. He soon began to look beyond illustration. However, even in works in which we are tempted to see only picturesque imagination, there appears his dominant and guiding ideal of lyric landscape. His choice of a single master from the past is an eloquent witness for he studied profoundly such canvases of Claude as he could find in England, copying and imitating them with a marvellous degree of perfection. His cult for the great painter never failed. He desired his Sun Rising through Vapour and Dido Building Carthage to be placed in the National Gallery side by side with two of Claude’s masterpieces. And, there, we may still see them and judge how legitimate was this proud and splendid homage. It was only in 1819 that Turner went to Italy, to go again in 1829 and 1840. Certainly Turner experienced emotions and found subjects for reverie which he later translated in terms of his own genius into symphonies of light and colour. Ardour is tempered with melancholy, as shadow strives with light. Melancholy, even as it appears in the enigmatic and profound creation of Albrecht Dürer, finds no home in Turner’s protean fairyland – what place could it have in a cosmic dream? Humanity does not appear there, except perhaps as stage characters at whom we hardly glance. Turner’s pictures fascinate us and yet we think of nothing precise, nothing human, only unforgettable colours and phantoms that lay hold on our imaginations. Humanity really only inspires him when linked with the idea of death – a strange death, more a lyrical dissolution – like the finale of an opera.
