Description
This master artist was one of the foremost English Romantic painters of all time. He was controversial in his own day but he raised the art of landscape to rival that genre of historical painting. He not only created wonderful oils, but he also was a master of watercolors and printing. He created this wonderful work at the age of seventy-one. He had receive formal training at the Royal Academy of Art from the age of fourteen and within eight years he was receiving enough patronage to insure his career in art. He died in 1851 in London. It belongs to a series of canvases of similar size which are the equivalent in oil to the superb watercolour drawings called by Finberg 'Colour Beginnings', now in the British Museum as part of the Turner Bequest. These oils are often described as unfinished but although it is true that Turner would never have exhibited them in their present state, it is difficult, without knowing for what purpose they were painted, to say that Turner intended to do anything further to them. It seems most likely that they were pictures which Turner painted for his own pleasure without any plans either to exhibit or sell them. The subject of the painting was probably inspired by the scenery which Turner saw when he visited the Val d'Aosta in 1836 with his patron and friend H. A. J. Munro of Novar. 'This masterpiece is in the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia and is an oil on canvas measuring 91.5 by 122 centimeters.
