J. M. W. Turner: 1775-1851: The World of Light and Colour

good quality. i have several from this series and they are a good buy for the money. ive seen many of the originals and these prints compare very well

A beautiful book

Beautiful book! Delivered in great conditions!

Nice book on Turner's works. Note that Taschen's "Basic Art" series hardcover books seem to come without the outer paper dust jacket/cover now.

Great series of artist books offering a general overview of each artist and their work.

Mostly illustrations of his work - as expected and desired. Cannot beat the price!

The media could not be loaded.  The only con is that it’s very thin…but the price was no bad at all. I will need a few more to create a nice coffee table decor.

The photos are beautiful and I’m happy to add it to my Basic Art Series collection. But the way it’s written is VERY difficult to understand. Sentences like, “In those days, landscapes were seen as a genre for painters who had decided to specialize in landscape painting.” and, “All this occurred within the space of one and the same year,” leave you with less information than what you started with… or the same information… or none at all. I’m still trying to decipher it. It sounds/reads like it was written in a different language and was then poorly translated. BUT! Beautiful pictures…

Achei o livro fraco em apresentação das obras

Es un regaló que gustó mucho

An attractive concise volume which highlights Turner's amazing watercolor seascapes and his exceptional rendering of the built landscapes, such as Rome, and imaginative views of Carthage, and Homer's world. The whole page plates create a pleasant gallery feel. This book, with its mix of useful text interspersed with drawings, creates a worthy account of this brilliant master's life.

Un buen libro para introducirse en el mundo de este fabuloso autor.

Great Book. Paper quality is excellent and the images are vibrant and clear. This gives me a very good idea on how the art looks in real life. I have so far only glanced at the text, but it is much more in depth than I expected and very well structured. Highly recommended, will look at more books from this series.
