M. W. Turner (1775-1851), on loan from The Frick Collection in New York: \u003ci\u003eHarbour of Dieppe: Changement de Domicile\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCologne, the Arrival of a Packet-Boat: Evening\u003c\/i\u003e. They were acquired by wealthy American industrialist Henry Clay Frick in 1914 and have remained in the USA ever since. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Painted in the mid-1820s, \u003ci\u003eDieppe\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCologne\u003c\/i\u003e exemplify Turner's lifelong fascination with the subject of ports and harbors⁠--past and present⁠--as dynamic, transitional places. Exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1825 and 1826 respectively, they represent in powerfully visual terms the outcomes of Turner's regular sketching tours within Europe that were central to his fame as an artist-traveler, as well as his radical approach to color, light, and brushwork. This sumptuously illustrated publication examines Turner's creative process, and his use of sketchbooks and watercolors to capture his ideas as he traveled. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by National Gallery Global\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Riding, Thomas Ardill, Aimee Ng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857096894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857096897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Gallery London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.39h x 8.90w x 0.39d","brand":"Christine Riding","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073328050431,"sku":"9781857096897","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66fde93a-f6b0-4256-b722-8678a47f3b17.jpg?v=1685447186","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/turner-on-tour-christine-riding-9781857096897","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
