Description:J.M.W. Turner is Britain's most famous landscape painter. Yet beyond his spectacular and ultimately controversial artistic career, little is known of the man himself and the events of his life.Franny Moyle tells the compelling tale of a boy born into the eighteenth century petty bourgeoisie who, fired by ambition, talent and commercial acumen, rose to become recognised as the greatest artist of his era - before being mocked for work that transgressed the taste of the times. Considered visionary at best and ludicrous at worst, Turner never failed to astound his audience with the boldness and bravery of his highly original work.Set against a vivid background of industrialising Britain and the French Revolution, this is an astonishing portrait of one of the most important figures in Western art.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
