Turner and me
JA105725
French version
This book presents the artistic world of Turner, considered the greatest English landscape painter of the 19th century.
We discover the great masters who inspired him (Nicolas Poussin, Claude Le Lorrain, Rembrandt, Watteau, Canaletto...) and his contemporaries (John Constable, Bonington, Thomas Girtin...) through a selection of paintings that offer a glimpse into his career.
Beginning as a watercolorist, he completed his training by frequenting galleries and museums, where he discovered the works of the Old Masters, leading him to explore the classical art of European painting.
A precise commentary introduces children to notions of art history and analysis in a simple, fun way. An activity book completes the package.
