The Paintings of Joseph Mallord William Turner Contrasted with The Work of Claude Lorraine
Number of pages:
8
ABSTRACT:
An 8 page analysis of the work of this nineteenth century painter. The author contends that much of Turner’s inspiration came from the classical painters such as Claude Lorraine. Turner’s will, in fact, directed that two of his paintings go to the National Gallery to be displayed alongside Claude’s work. The author asserts that this was both a recognition of the influence Turner had gained from Claude and a final means of painting with light and contrast, a means achieved not within his own canvas but through a side by side exhibit with the work of another painter whose work emphasized different yet similar artistic elements and style. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
