The year after, Turner caused a stir at Foots Cray when staying in his room painting watercolours on a Sunday morning instead of going to church, partic. as he was staying with the local parson. "He worshipped nature with all her beauties, but forgot God his Creator", reported another guest. Quite right, too. 2. The big Trafalgar pic at Greenwich Naval College was commissioned by George IV, but rejected for not being realistic enough (despite Turner constantly reworking the rigging on advice from naval types). Turner, who worked on it for 16 months, was really pissed off. The painting was "banished to Greenwich".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650332.post-24414800154713523412009-02-02T19:52:00.000+00:002009-02-02T19:52:00.000+00:00Agreed.

Looking through the sketches there are a number that are identified as, for instance, Lewisham, without a clear sense of exactly where they were painted..https://www.blogger.com/profile/17026835814805695527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650332.post-33089175934278641142009-02-02T18:50:00.000+00:002009-02-02T18:50:00.000+00:00Turner's viewpoints round London need a comprehens...Turner's viewpoints round London need a comprehensive survey. www.jmwturner.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
