Widely regarded as one of the greatest figures in the history of art, J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851) had a profound influence on the development of Impressionism.

The book is divided into three parts following a chronological pattern after an introduction that studies Turner's "desire to rise to the top of the British art ... Read More
