Turner, Joseph Mallord William

 

BIOGRAPHY

Turner, John Mallord William (1775-1851). One of the finest landscape artists was J.M.W. Turner, whose work was exhibited when he was still a teenager. His entire life was devoted to his art. Unlike many artists of his era, he was successful throughout his career.

Joseph Mallord William Turner was born in London, England, on April 23, 1775. His father was a barber. His mother died when he was very young. The boy received little schooling. His father taught him how to read, but this was the extent of his education except for the study of art. By the age of 13 he was making drawings at home and exhibiting them in his father's shop window for sale.

Turner was 15 years old when he received a rare honor--one of his paintings was exhibited at the Royal Academy. By the time he was 18 he had his own studio. Before he was 20 print sellers were eagerly buying his drawings for reproduction.

He quickly achieved a fine reputation and was elected an associate of the Royal Academy. In 1802, when he was only 27, Turner became a full member. He then began traveling widely in Europe.

Venice was the inspiration of some of Turner's finest work. Wherever he visited he studied the effects of sea and sky in every kind of weather. His early training had been as a topographic draftsman. With the years, however, he developed a painting technique all his own. Instead of merely recording factually what he saw, Turner translated scenes into a light-filled expression of his own romantic feelings.

As he grew older Turner became an eccentric. Except for his father, with whom he lived for 30 years, he had no close friends. He allowed no one to watch him while he painted. He gave up attending the meetings of the academy. None of his acquaintances saw him for months at a time. Turner continued to travel but always alone. He still held exhibitions, but he usually refused to sell his paintings. When he was persuaded to sell one, he was dejected for days.

In 1850 he exhibited for the last time. One day Turner disappeared from his house. His housekeeper, after a search of many months, found him hiding in a house in Chelsea. He had been ill for a long time. He died the following day--Dec. 19, 1851.

Turner left a large fortune that he hoped would be used to support what he called "decaying artists." His collection of paintings was bequeathed to his country. At his request he was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral.

Although known for his oils, Turner is regarded as one of the founders of English watercolor landscape painting. Some of his most famous works are Calais Pier, Dido Building Carthage, Rain, Steam and Speed, Burial at Sea, and The Grand Canal, Venice.

Turner, Joseph Mallord William  

 

BIOGRAFIA 

Turner, John Mallord William (1775-1851). Uno dei migliori artisti del paesaggio è stata J.M.W. Turner, il cui lavoro è stato esposto, quando era ancora un adolescente. Tutta la sua vita è stata dedicata alla sua arte. A differenza di molti artisti della sua epoca, era successo in tutta la sua carriera.

Joseph Mallord William Turner nacque a Londra, in Inghilterra, il 23 aprile 1775. Suo padre era un barbiere. Sua madre morì quando lui era molto giovane. Il ragazzo ha ricevuto poca istruzione. Suo padre gli aveva insegnato a leggere, ma questa era la misura della sua educazione, tranne per lo studio dell'arte. Dall'età di 13 anni è stato la realizzazione di immagini a casa e li espone nella finestra di suo padre negozio per la vendita. Turner aveva 15 anni quando ha ricevuto un onore raro - uno dei suoi dipinti è stata esposta alla Royal Academy. Con il tempo aveva 18 anni aveva il suo studio. Prima di lui era di 20 venditori di stampa sono state avidamente acquistare i suoi disegni per la riproduzione. Ha rapidamente raggiunto una buona reputazione e fu eletto socio della Royal Academy. Nel 1802, quando aveva solo 27, Turner divenne un membro a pieno titolo. Poi iniziò a viaggiare in tutta Europa.

Venezia è stata l'ispirazione di alcuni dei lavori più belli di Turner. Ovunque ha visitato ha studiato gli effetti del mare e del cielo in ogni tipo di tempo. La sua prima formazione era stato come disegnatore topografico. Con gli anni, però, ha sviluppato una tecnica di pittura tutta sua. Invece di limitarsi a registrare fatto quello che ha visto, Turner tradotto scene in una luminosa espressione dei propri sentimenti romantici.

Col passare degli anni è diventato un eccentrico Turner. Ad eccezione di suo padre, con cui ha vissuto per 30 anni, non aveva amici. Ha permesso a nessuno di vederlo mentre dipinge. Rinunciò partecipanti alle riunioni dell'Accademia. Nessuno dei suoi conoscenti lo vide per mesi alla volta. Turner ha continuato a viaggiare, ma sempre solo. Ha tenuto mostre ancora, ma di solito ha rifiutato di vendere i suoi dipinti. Quando è stato convinto a vendere uno, è stato abbattuto per giorni.

Nel 1850 espone per l'ultima volta. Turner, un giorno scomparve dalla sua casa. La sua governante, dopo una ricerca di molti mesi, lo trovarono nascosto in una casa a Chelsea. Era malato da tempo. Morì il giorno seguente - dicembre 19, 1851.

Turner ha lasciato una grande fortuna che avrebbe dovuto essere utilizzata per sostenere quella che ha definito "decadente artisti." La sua collezione di dipinti è stato lasciato in eredità al suo paese. Su sua richiesta fu sepolto nella Cattedrale di St. Paul.

Sebbene sia noto per i suoi oli, Turner è considerato uno dei fondatori della pittura di paesaggio inglese acquerello. Alcune delle sue opere più famose sono Calais Pier, Dido Building Cartagine, Pioggia, vapore e velocità, sepoltura in mare, e il Canal Grande, a Venezia.
