Description
This is a reproduction of “London from Greenwich Park” of 1842 by Joseph Mallord William Turner. Like the view from Richmond Hill, that upstream towards the City from Greenwich Park is one of the most prized prospects of the Thames. From the pastoral foreground with grazing deer, Turner looks over the Queen’s House and Greenwich Hospital towards London where St Paul’s Cathedral and the City churches rise through the smoky pall above the metropolis. Turner’s own verses, presented when the picture was exhibited at his Gallery in 1809, describe the mingled beauty and energy of the scene. As gleams of hope amidst a world of care . Turner was born in London and was sent to live with his uncle when his mother became mentally unstable. He began drawing at the age of ten and his father sold them in his barber and wig shop. At fourteen he entered the Royal Academy of Art schools, and into the Academy itself the next year when he had his first exhibition. He traveled to Paris and Switzerland in 1802 and attracted several friends and patrons in his Twenties. He grew more eccentric with age and never married. He lived with his father for thirty years and, after his father’s death in 1829, was subject to depression. He had at least two romantic liaisons and died in 1851 at the house of his lover for eighteen years. This painting is an oil no canvas and measures 90.2 by 120 inches. It is in the Tate Gallery in London.
