Notes:
Provenance: private collection - Cheltenham, UK. Engraved by English artist Arthur Willmore (1814-1888) after a painting by English artist Joseph William Mallord Turner (1775-1851) which is within the permanent collection of the Tate Museum, London, UK. Comes from Wornum's one volume "The Turner Gallery: A Series of Sixty Engravings From The Principal Works of Joseph Mallord William Turner", (1861) (First edition), which consists of 60 engravings. Printed from one steel plate in one color: black. This series was created just ten years after the death of Turner. Our example here is from the 1861 (First edition) published by James S. Virtue & Co. in London. In 1878, James S. Virtue & Co. published "The Turner Gallery" with 120 engravings in three volumes. In 1879, D. Appleton & Co. in New York, NY also published "The Turner Gallery" with 120 engravings.
In 1854, Wornum had been appointed Keeper of the National Gallery, and in 1860-1861 he was instrumental in securing the return of the Turner collection to the National Gallery, in accordance with the terms of the artist's will. Wornum pleaded for the enlargement of the National Gallery, and deplored any separation of works by British from those by foreign artists. During his life-time some large prints were made after Turner's paintings - usually under his detailed supervision. After his death many more of his works were made known to the public by means of these smaller engravings of "The Turner Gallery". Most of the plates were made by engravers who had worked with Turner during his life-time. They show oil-paintings and a few watercolors - landscapes, seascapes and mythological and historical subjects.
Biography:
Joseph Mallord William Turner RA (23 April 1775 – 19 December 1851), known in his time as William Turner, was an English Romantic painter, printmaker and watercolourist. He is known for his expressive colouring, imaginative landscapes and turbulent, often violent marine paintings. He left behind more than 550 oil paintings, 2,000 watercolours, and 30,000 works on paper. He was championed by the leading English art critic John Ruskin from 1840, and is today regarded as having elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivaling history painting.
