About this book

Turner's Golden Visions is by Charles Lewis Hind, with fifty of the paintings and drawings of Turner reproduced in colour. John Constable, on the 1828 Royal Academy Exhibition, is quoted as saying that Turner has some golden visions, glorious and beautiful, that they are only visions, but still art, and that one could live and die with such pictures.

The text says that Orvieto, painted in Rome in 1829 and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1830, when the artist was fifty-five, is not one of his great works. Turner is called an interpreter of the soul of what he saw, not a reporter of topographical, historical or architectural accuracy. From Rome Turner wrote several letters, and the text gives the beginning of one to George Jones, R.A., showing the manner of Turner's correspondence. The writer says he cannot like the red, flaming walls, but there is no doubt that the pictures look finer than they did in Trafalgar Square.
