About this book
Turner's Sketches and Drawings is by A. J. Finberg and carries 100 illustrations in its second edition. The contents list a first chapter, Seven Years’ Apprenticeship, 1787-1793, with Turner’s first drawings among its entries. The text says the object of the following pages is to re-study the character of Turner’s art in the light of his sketch-books and drawings from nature. The text says the drawings and sketches included in the Turner Bequest at the National Gallery comprise practically the whole of the great landscape painter’s work done direct from nature.
Amongst the twenty odd thousand sheets of drawings in all stages of elaboration, the embryonic forms of most of the painter’s masterpieces can be easily traced, the text says. A discussion of an etching says the size and proportions of the plate differ from those of the drawing, so the etching could not have been traced from it.
