J.M.W. Turner
"Beauport" Manor in Sussex: An Aquatint Engraving After a J.M.W. Turner Painting

1818

About the Item

This is a colored aquatint after a drawing and a watercolor landscape by Joseph Mallord William (J. M. W.) Turner (1775–1851) entitled Beauport. The engraving was created by Joseph Constantine Stadler in London in 1818 for a series called "Four Large Coloured Views in Sussex". This engraving is presented in a burl wood frame with black inner and outer trim, with a grey fabric mat and it is embellished with a gold-colored fillet. The print and frame are in very good condition. Beauport House, near Hastings, England was built by General James Murray and named after Beauport in Canada where he had served as Governor, 1763–7. It depicts a serene English landscape, with a man waving to the stagecoach traveling along a road in the foreground in a large cloud of dust. Beauport manor house is seen in the distance on a hill on the right, with expansive countryside and the sea in the background on the left. Joseph Mallord William (J.M.W.) Turner (1775-1851) was an English painter who is widely considered one of the greatest landscape painters in Western art history. Born in London, he showed a remarkable talent for art from a young age, and studied at the Royal Academy of Arts from the age of 14. He quickly gained recognition for his watercolor landscapes, which were highly innovative and expressive. Turner's style evolved over time, and he became increasingly interested in the effects of light and color. He traveled extensively throughout Europe, and his experiences of the natural world, particularly the sea and the sky, had a profound influence on his art. His paintings are known for their luminosity, atmospheric effects, and dramatic use of color. Despite facing criticism and ridicule from some of his contemporaries, Turner continued to push the boundaries of art, experimenting with new techniques and styles throughout his career. He was a prolific artist, creating thousands of paintings, sketches, and watercolors, and his legacy continues to inspire artists today.

  • The Fighting Temeraire: A Framed 19th C. Engraving After J. M. W. Turner
    By J.M.W. Turner
    Located in Alamo, CA
    This beautiful 19th century framed engraving "The Fighting Temeraire" by James Tibbetts Willmore is based on an original painting by the renowned British artist J.M.W. Turner. It was published by James S. Virtue & Co. in London between 1859-1875. It depicts the once mighty British warship the HMS Temeraire being towed away down the river Thames by a much smaller steamboat to a ship-breaking yard to be broken up for scrap. The Temeraire was first launched in 1798 and represented the pinnacle of British ship-building. 180-feet long, constructed of English oak and armed with 98 guns, she was one of the largest warships of the period. The Temeraire became a symbol of British pride and military power that endured throughout the 19th century. The man-of-war served during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and was among the last serving ships to have been at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. It became one of the many older ships put out of service in the 1830s and 1840s. The once mighty and feared ship symbolizes a once magnificent, but now obsolete, technology. Turner seems to lament her inglorious final journey, being towed by a less magnificent, but modern steam powered tugboat. The Turner painting was created in 1838 and is now held in the National Gallery in London. Willmore's engraving, created in 1859, captures the dramatic scene with great detail and skill. The image has become an iconic representation of the decline of Britain's naval power and the transition from sail to steam in the 19th century. The sunset in the background is symbolic of the sun going down on British naval power and tradition. The painting conveys profound and diverse themes that are central to the human experience: those of mortality and change, technology and progress, heroism and brutality. The painting demonstrates Turner’s skill as an artist. His ability to produce scenes of great beauty that are dramatic, but are also symbolic, stimulating both thoughtful analysis, as well as emotion. Turner's painting was voted by the British public in a 2005 BBC radio sponsored survey to be the British people's favorite painting of all time. In 2020 it was included on a new British banknote...

    Storm Spectres I’ is a unique monotype made at the artist’s studio in Cadiz, southern Spain. Much of Tim’s work takes the land or the sea as a starting point – a vast unending springboard where he explores concepts of human mortality, perceptions of life and death, emotions and colour. Although the pieces are clearly some sort of landscapes there is always ambiguity allowing the viewer to make a personal interpretation of what is directly in front of them. Tim’s monotypes are completely unique pieces of work made from inking up several copper etching plates...
