| book description |

An engaging account of Britainâ€™s greatest painter, told through works from the Yale Center for British Artâ€™s extensive collection Â Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775â€“1851) is one of the most recognizable names in the history of British art. Elected to the Royal Academy in 1802, Turner broke new ground with his oils, watercolors, and prints. His landscapes and marine paintings are widely considered the crowning achievement of British Romantic art. Â This book, the inaugural installment in the Yale Center for British Artâ€™s Collection Series, explores the museumâ€™s astonishing Turner holdingsâ€”the largest outside the United Kingdomâ€”in a manner that will engage the general reader and expert alike. Six sections of plates provide a comprehensive overview of the artistâ€™s career, place the works within their historical and cultural context, and include new discoveries regarding the identification of locations, landscapes, and dates. Gillian Forresterâ€™s supplementary essay offers a novel account of Turnerâ€™s innovative printmaking practice, illuminating his fraught collaborations with other printmakers. Complementing an exhibition at the YCBA and a satellite exhibition at the Dordrechts Museum (The Netherlands), both planned for the 250th year of Turnerâ€™s birth, this publication celebrates the artistâ€™s unparalleled vision as exemplified in the YCBAâ€™s world-class collection of his work. Distributed for the Yale Center for British Art Â Exhibition Schedule: Â Yale Center for British Art (Spring 2026) Â Dordrechts Museum (Spring 2026)
