I love it when Turner was done with all the classical perfection and just went full blown abstract by fuzzing out all hard edges, that's what made him a genius, we all do that today but Turner invented it.
Thanks a million my friend ! Turner is the greatest landscape artist ever. And also the most brilliant watercolourist ever. Herbert Read correctly assessed his work and said - his paintings were the greatest revelation of the power and majesty of nature ! How very true. I guess Ruskin recognised his genius before any one. Once again my gratitude to you. Would like to see your art work too.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. This video is an overview and there are two more coming that show more detail. I'm working on the titles etc and hope to have the titles for the last 6 videos live by weekend. His work is breathtaking. You may have noticed that the playback resolution is low, this is due to youtube processing, look again in a few hours and it should be playing with upto 4k resolution and you will be able to see much more detail. This always happens if you watch a video soon after it's been uploaded, it's very annoying as I want it to look its best right away. I spent a long time getting very high resolution images to make the video and its a shame if people don't get to see that right away. Thanks again for the message
Turner was as I said earlier the greatest water colourist ever. Please see if you can get some John Robert Cozens. Turner learnt from his work, as he and Thomas Girtin copied his work for a patron, a doctor , where cozens was hospitalised. Cozens water colours are few , but hypnotic in quality. His washes are incredible, and the moment you see them, you know , here is pure genius !
Thanks, I will absolutely do that. I must say I am really enjoying and excited to have now made some new friends through this channel and I'm looking forward to all the many conversations we can all have in the future and the many things I'm going to learn. It's wonderful to have found some like minded people.
As a child his sky's mesmerised me and I wondered how??? I stumbled across impressionism by accident later, too young to realise it had a name!😆 But I never forgot Turner and was, still am puzzled by his style being labeled 'romantic', when however young I saw the immense drama good and 'bad', and not least his geneous! I grew up with those sky's he reproduced but came across him when living in a built up city! I'm not an art critic and pleased I've found your channel.😁👌
Turner the painter of light ! Indeed ! His alleged last words - The Sun is God ! It appears that even now nobody how he obtained certain effects - mist, foam on waves and mainly the effect of light on water.....what an eye he had....
the sea and the paintings are not violent. the sea is a hostile environment to humans, same as the night or dark. many creatures flourish there, same as we do on the land and in the day time. the paintings reflect truth, these paintings reflect truth where most cultivate it to be what they want to see. to turn wild nature into an English country garden
The pictures are pin sharp....this is a real treasure !,!!!
I'm so pleased you are happy with them. There are two more videos of Turner coming before too long that I hope you will also enjoy

When you put up volume 2 could you post a message on this site.
You've noted 1850 as his death? I've so far got 1851? Now he's on £20 notes...and I've taken up art again 50 years later!! Can someone clarify?
Thank you. I will look into this.

Indeed. Oddly enough about three days ago I mentioned to my mom about Turners last words. I chose to believe it is true.
the sea and the paintings are not violent. the sea is a hostile environment to humans, same as the night or dark. many creatures flourish there, same as we do on the land and in the day time. the paintings reflect truth, these paintings reflect truth where most cultivate it to be what they want to see. to turn wild nature into an English country garden
4000 paintings? Hmmm
