"In this book, over 150 of Turner's works of every type are lavishly displayed and superbly reproduced. In his text Andrew Wilton builds up a picture in the round of a man of many secrets both professional and personal, using a broad repertory of documentary sources including Turner's own writings in the form of letters, notes and verse, and recorded impressions by his contemporaries, later assessments, and reviews of his exhibited works. A comprehensive chronology, illustrated with portraits of Turner and his associates and views of places with which he was connected, sets out his travels, exhibitions and projects. Important light is shed on Turner's mind by a list of books in his library, and on the private man by an inventory of the contents of the London house where he lived for most of his long life."--BOOK JACKET.
