History and Techniques of the Great Masters: Turner

In this series of History and Techniques of the Great Masters, each book brings you a selection of ten or more famous paintings, magnificently reproduced in full color and with actual size details so that you can see the way the artist has worked--just as though the paintings were hanging on your own walls. The text analyzes each painting in turn and informative captions tell you exactly which techniques the artist has used to obtain particular effects, what type of canvas and priming was used, and how the colors were chosen, mixed and applied.
