JMW Turner always wanted a legacy so the public would remember him. The nation got his paintings & sketch books. Also his nudes. He wanted a statue. Little could he have believed that 169 years later he would appear on the new £20 note! Let’s celebrate the brilliance of Turner!

Ever stopped to wonder who is the mysterious head who peers between the curtains of George Knapton’s portait of Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington? And is it the same lady who is the model for the bust at Chiswick House & in the lost W. Kent altarpiece at St Clement Danes?

This book will come in handy for my guided tour tomorrow, particularly as I will be talking about plate number 27, 62 & 63 from J.M.W.Turner’s iconic ‘Liber Studiorum’, together with 5 of 18 of his oil on mahogany sketches of 1805/6 when he lived at Syon Ferry House in Isleworth.

This would have been good- an #exhibition featuring every one of the 71 engravings and etchings from #JMWTurner’s monumental ‘Liber Studiorum’. These per produced in series of 5 and were accompanied by a letter indicating the subject. A- Architectural P-Pastoral ect.

Illustrations of the #primitivehut by #WilliamChambers. The first dwellings were caves, then structures made of wood which offered protect against the elements & wild animals. Over time they become larger, more elaborate & stone replaced wood with added decorative embellishments.

It’s a good job J.M.W. Turner was unable to tour the continent before 1815 (apart from 1802) otherwise we may not have had so many of his wonderful prints that comprised the ‘Liber Studiorum’. Here the seminal French artist Claude Lorrain was his inspiration.
