In het leven van Joseph Mallord William Turner
Het hele leven1830–1840s
Criticism in the 1830s–1840s and Ruskin’s defence
His innovative works, bordering on abstraction, gave him a reputation for madness: the Victorian public preferred realism and sentimentality, and Queen Victoria refused to knight him. John Ruskin came to his defence, calling him “the greatest artist of all time”.
1838
A gold snuffbox from Louis-Philippe
Turner was a constant user of snuff; in 1838 King Louis-Philippe I of France gave him a gold snuffbox.
1840–1844
Last journeys: Venice and Switzerland
On a second trip to Venice (1840) he also visited Trieste and Coburg, and in 1841 and 1844 he made two final trips to Switzerland, in his sixties.
1842
“Snow Storm: Steam-Boat…”: a scathing review
Of “Snow Storm: Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth” (1842), considered a masterpiece today, The Athenaeum wrote dismissively that the painter now painted with cream, chocolate, yolk of egg or currant jelly, and that where the steam-boat was and where the harbour began were matters past finding out.
