"Turner's Harbors of England," as it is generally called,is a book which, for various reasons, has never received fromreaders of Mr. Ruskin's writings the attention it deserves.True, it has always been sought after by connoisseurs, andcollectors never fail with their eleven or twelve guineas whenevera set of Artist's Proofs of the First Edition of ...
Among the many peculiarities which distinguished thelate J. M. W. Turner from other landscape painters, notthe least notable, in my apprehension, were his earnest desireto arrange his works in connected groups, and his evidentintention, with respect to each drawing, that it should beconsidered as expressing part of a continuous system ofthought. Th...
Of all things, living or lifeless, upon this strange earth,there is but one which, having reached the mid-term of appointedhuman endurance on it, I still regard with unmitigatedamazement. I know, indeed, that all around me iswonderful—but I cannot answer it with wonder:—a darkveil, with the foolish words, NATURE OF THINGS, upon it,casts its deadeni...
This port has some right to take precedence of others,as being that assuredly which first exercises the hospitalityof England to the majority of strangers who set foot on hershores. I place it first therefore among our present subjects;though the drawing itself, and chiefly on account of itsmanifestation of Turner's faulty habit of local exaggerati...
This, though less attractive, at first sight, than the formerplate, is a better example of the master, and far truer andnobler as a piece of thought. The lifting of the brig on thewave is very daring; just one of the things which is seen inevery gale, but which no other painter than Turner ever represented;and the lurid transparency of the dark sky...
The drawing for this plate is one of Turner's most remarkable,though not most meritorious, works: it contains thebrightest rainbow he ever painted, to my knowledge; not thebest, but the most dazzling. It has been much modified inthe plate. It is very like one of Turner's pieces of capriceto introduce a rainbow at all as a principal feature in sucha...
I have placed in the middle of the series those pictureswhich I think least interesting, though the want of interestis owing more to the monotony of their character than to anyreal deficiency in their subjects. If, after contemplatingpaintings of arid deserts or glowing sunsets, we had comesuddenly upon this breezy entrance to the crowded cove ofPl...
I look upon this as one of the noblest sea-pieces whichTurner ever produced. It has not his usual fault of over-crowdingor over-glitter; the objects in it are few and noble,and the space infinite. The sky is quite one of his best: notviolently black, but full of gloom and power; the complicatedroundings of its volumes behind the sloop's mast, and d...
This plate is not, at first sight, one of the most striking ofthe series; but it is very beautiful, and highly characteristicof Turner.[T] First, in its choice of subjects: for it seemsvery notably capricious in a painter eminently capable ofrendering scenes of sublimity and mystery, to devote himselfto the delineation of one of the most prosaic of...
This beautiful drawing is a thirdrecurrence by Turnerto his earliest impression of Portsmouth, given in the SouthernCoast series. The buildings introduced differ only by aslight turn of the spectator towards the right; the buoy isin the same spot; the man-of-war's boat nearly so; the sloopexactly so, but on a different tack; and the man-of-war, whi...
