Over one hundred and forty years after his death, Turner's reputation as perhaps the greatest of all British painters remains as strong as ever. The popularity of the Turner watercolour exhibition shown at the National Gallery of Scotland every January remains equally undiminished, over ninety years after Henry Vaughan bequeathed thirty-eight of the artist's watercolours to Edinburgh. This new publication offers, for the first time, a catalogue of the whole of the permanent collection of Turner's works. Several drawings, which have not appeared in the recent literature on Turner, are included, in addition to the well known watercolours of the Vaughan Bequest and the vignette Illustrations to the Poetical Works of Thomas Campbell." SELLING POINTS: This catalogue offers, for the first time, a catalogue of the whole of the permanent collection of Turner's works Includes the prints from which so many of his drawings were made Many of the works featured have not previously appeared in recent literature on Turner 64 colour & 77 b/w illustrations

The Getty Museum's collection of drawings was begun in 1981 with the purchase of a Rembrandt nude and has since become an important repository of European works from the fifteenth through the nineteenth century. As in the first volume devoted to the collection (published in 1988 in English and Italian editions), the text is here organized first by national school, then alphabetically by artist, with individual works arranged chronologically. For each drawing, the authors provide a discussion of the work's style, dating, iconography, and relationship to other works, as well as provenance and a complete bibliography.
