Reviews
"Fresh and lively... Turner's life is given a vivid colour and depth as Moyle deftly interweaves his professional career with his private life. Moyle writes with sensitivity about individual pictures and series, and is good at explaining the context." -- BBC History Magazine "Moyle's [book] is... satisfying, not least because it allows for the intimacy of reading. Less is more when it comes to biography - and Moyle gives Turner's restless life a perspective and a frame." -- The New Statesman "Franny Moyle's biography...is a fat, satisfying popular history of the man who was arguably Britain's greatest painter. Ms. Moyle has not written academic art history; she is entertaining on Turner's life and good on his times." -- The Economist, "Franny Moyle's biography...is a fat, satisfying popular history of the man who was arguably Britain's greatest painter. Ms. Moyle has not written academic art history; she is entertaining on Turner's life and good on his times." -- The Economist, "Like all good storytellers, Moyle begins with high drama... a popular rather than scholarly work... the author enlivens her tale with perfect details... [an] excellent biography."-- Kirkus (starred) "Franny Moyle's biography...is a fat, satisfying popular history of the man who was arguably Britain's greatest painter.

Synopsis
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.

- b***j (830)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoSuper fast delivery of package which was shipped with extraordinary protection. The package contained two magazines which were each over 100 years old. The magazines were in wonderful condition and had been packaged with all the care that an owner would want for his own possessions. I rarely find sellers who take such care in ensuring that their buyers receive the items in the exact condition that was described. This is such a seller whom I would rate 10+ if there were such a rating.
