Turner: The Masterworks

A now out-of-print and increasingly rare monograph on J.M.W. Turner, this richly illustrated volume by Eric Shanes offers a sweeping overview of the artist’s evolution from youthful watercolourist to the celebrated master of Romantic landscape. Featuring in-depth analysis of Turner’s engagement with light, colour, and lyrical abstraction, the book contextualizes his influences—from Girtin to Claude Lorrain—and his transformative journeys through Europe. With over 200 colour reproductions, it captures the emotional range and poetic grandeur of Turner’s vision.
