'With splendid clarity and shrewd humour, James Hamilton evokes the visceral world of a great artist and a fascinating character'
MIKE LEIGH, Academy Award-winning director of Mr. Turner

J.M.W. Turner became an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1799, aged just twenty-four. As influential collectors competed to buy his paintings, he travelled widely - in an era defined by industrial change and social turbulence, he observed both landscape and people, gathering material for a series of works that would come to express the collective identity of Britain.

Blending vibrant biography and art history, James Hamilton paints a remarkable portrait of an eccentric and enigmatic figure. He examines the fascinating conflicts of Turner's life and legacy, revealing him to be a giant of the nineteenth century and a beacon for the twenty-first.

Recenzii

A pleasure to read.
Hamilton's life gives us a real person ... comprehensibly human and belonging clearly in the England of his time.
Hamilton writes ... with gusto, bringing Turner to vivid three-dimensional life.
Turner was a phenomenon, a one-man artistic revolution whose energy can be felt through the pages of this inspiring biography.
Hamilton's readable, unshowy life ... excellent.
An excellent biography - revealing on the life, perceptive on the art.
Admirably clear
A richly detailed biography . . . Hamilton maintains a steady course between academic respectability and an allowance for the drama and poignancy so clearly central to an accurate portrait of the subject
Very satisfying . . . detailed, judicious and confidently grounded in the period
Lively
Well researched and fluidly written
With splendid clarity and shrewd humour, James Hamilton evokes the visceral world of a great artist and a fascinating character.
