SIR HENRY RAEBURN175© ~ 18 23. 53 JOSEPH MALLORD WILLIAM TURNER English School1775-1851 Turner, the son of a barber, born in London, has been calledthe greatest imaginative landscape-painter that ever lived. Bythe time he was fourteen he had begun to paint in oils, and wasadmitted as a student at the Academy. For over sixty yearsthereafter he continued to paint, working with incredible industry,and finishing a vast number of paintings. In Turners first period,to which this example belongs, which lasted until about 1820, hispaintings show the closest attention to the most minute details ofnature. The keynotes are grayish green and brown; pure bluesand delicate golden yellows being admitted in small quantity as thelowest and highest limits of shade and light; and bright local col-ors in extremely small quantity in figures or other minor accesso-ries. Everything that came from Turners hand is precious, anddiscerning collectors are eager to secure an example of his work. THE TOWER OF LON
