This pioneering two-volume biography (1862) explores the genius of the groundbreaking Romantic landscape and historical painter and printmaker J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851). In Volume 1, the author Walter Thornbury (1828–76) traces Turner's 'art life' from cockney prodigy to Royal Academician, and creator of such masterpieces as The Fighting Temeraire.
