About this book

"J. M.W. Turner is generally acknowledged not only as Britain's greatest painter, but as one of the finest and most original of all landscape painters. This work, written by a team of the world's foremost Turner scholars, is the first to provide an authoritative and comprehensive guide to his life and works, paying proper attention to the growth of scholarly and critical acclaim given to him, especially over the last two decades." "Readership: Art historians, students, museum curators, dealers and collectors, Turner enthusiasts; scholars and students of 19th-century studies."--Jacket.
