Description: | JMW Turner visited Dunstanburgh, on the Northumberland coast, in 1797. This was part of a sketching tour around the country from his home in London. Turner's method was to make quick pencil sketches on the spot, which he would work up into paintings in his studio, sometimes years later. The crags in the foreground of this scene are imaginary, added to increase its picturesque drama. The view is painted in Turner's early manner, using the restricted range of blues and browns usual in the late-18th century. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1798 to 1800 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Joseph Mallord William Turner (RA) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
