Book Synopsis J.M.W. Turner and the Subject of History by : Leo Costello
Book excerpt: J.M.W. Turner and the Subject of History is an in-depth consideration of the artist's complex response to the challenge of creating history paintings in the early nineteenth century.Structured around the dual themes of making and unmaking, this book examines how Turner's history paintings reveal changing notions of individual and collective identity at a time when the British Empire was simultaneously developing and fragmenting.
