Turner *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 15, 2007* I checked this book out at my local library. It is so good, I'm going to buy it. While I knew who Turner was and had seen one or two reproductions of his work in books about other, later artists, I had seen little of his work and knew nothing about him before reading this book. It has been an absolutely wonderful introduction and has spurred me to look for more about Turner's art. There are something like 168 reproductions of oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings; most of them are large and in color; all of them are outstanding. I have looked at them in awe. The great landscape painter is himself a marvel. His prodigious talent revealed itself very early (by age 11 at least) and was recognized by his father, a London barber. He hung his son's paintings in the window of his barbershop with prices attached. Thus, Turner was a professional from childhood. In as much he was blessed with a reasonably long, healthy, and extremely productive life as well as extraordinary creativity which increased, rather than decreased with age, Turner left the world with a huge treasure-trove of great art. Stylistically it spans the period from the Old Masters of the seventeen century to the Expressionists, and in my view, towards the end of his career, it verges on Abstract Expressionism.This book is a biography of the artist as he was perceived during his life. Thus, it is filled with an abundance of quotations from contemporary sources, which serves to make Turner a very real and likeable, though very prickly, man. However, the emphasis is on the pictures. Wilton is a Turner scholar. His discussion is well-informed, without being pedantic or impenetrably academic. He has appended lists of the contents of Turner's house/studio and the contents of his library, which were made after his death, a bibliography, and an index of the pictures included in the book, which identifies their locations. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy it for the plates *by S***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2017* I bought this book for the illustrations after I was presented with a gift copy of the superb biography of Turner by Franny Moyle. The reproduction is excellent and the book is worth it for the illustrations alone. The introduction was very annoying after reading Moyle's work since it emphasized all the old negative attitudes towards Turner by earlier biographers, where he was considered insane, overly eccentric and morally corrupt in contrast to Moyle's tolerance, astute assessment of the man and her skilled writing of his interesting and unusual life. I stopped reading the introduction and just enjoyed the plates. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yep, this is the nonesuch book on Turner *by A***7 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2015* This book is better than anticipated. People who do not use Amazon are often skeptical about the reviews, but by reading the reviews submitted about this book, I resolved to buy it, since the review assured me the pictures were LARGE and first quality. Well, they really are. I am reading the book now, and although Turner's life and personality do not lend themselves to superlatives, the author does his very best to show the quirkiness of the artist. If you want a melodramatic text, go read a book on Van Gogh. Turner's paintings are all the melodrama you need. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/17744323-turner-in-his-time](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/17744323-turner-in-his-time) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
