| book description |

An exploration of Turnerâ€™s final, vital years, including new readings of some of his most significant paintings The paintings and drawings Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775â€“1851) produced from 1835 to his death are seen by many as his most audacious and compelling work, a highly personal final vision that ranks with the late styles of the greatest artists. In this study, Sam Smiles shows how a richer account of Turnerâ€™s achievement can be presented once his historical circumstances are given proper attention. He discusses the style and subject matter of Turnerâ€™s later oil paintings and watercolours, his commercial dealings and his relations with patrons; he examines the artistâ€™s critical reception and scrutinises accounts of his physical and mental health to see what can be reliably said about this last phase of creative endeavour. Emerging from this study is an artist who used his final years to consolidate the principles that had motivated him throughout his career.
