About the Item
Lake Constance
c 1850.

In 1842 J.M.W. Turner embarked on a quest to generate commissions for large scale watercolor paintings based on a series of 10 "sample study" watercolors he had done after a group of sketches he made while traveling through Switzerland. All but two of the landscapes are of Swiss scenes, Lake Constance, is one of the exceptions. When the landscape study failed to entice any of his collectors to commission a finished work, Turner fleshed out the painting and presented it to his agent, Thomas Griffith. Griffith was eventually successful in wooing the well known art critic, instructor, and polymath John Ruskin to purchase the finished work for his private collection. Ruskin presented the painting to his students, who enjoyed the opportunity to learn Turner's technique through its study. This is likely one of the watercolors executed by a student of Ruskin.
Inscribed in pencil on the verso of this painting are various notations of interest, including the names "Mr. Thomas Griffith and Mr. Clarke," Turner's agents, and the London address 7 Holly Place, Hampstead.

Biography
John William Casilear was born in New York City on June 25, 1811. Like his fellow Hudson River School landscapists Asher B. Durand and John F. Kensett, he worked as an engraver before turning to painting. In 1826 Casilear was apprenticed to the engraver Peter Maverick (1780-1831), and at first he primarily executed bank notes. Durand encouraged him to attempt other subjects, however, and during the 1830s he madeengravings after some of the most prominent paintings of the day, including Daniel Huntington's The Sybil (New-York Historical Society).

In 1833 Casilear was elected an Associate of the Academy; he was elevated to full Academician status in 1851.
