e gli impressionisti. La grande storia del paesaggio moderno in Europa.
Catalogo della mostra (Brescia, 28 ottobre 2006-25 marzo 2007) Silvana
Composta di circa 270 opere e divisa in 5
ampie sezioni, la mostra per la prima volta in Italia tratteggia
l'importante vicenda della nascita del paesaggio impressionista. Facendolo
però da un punto di vista molto più dilatato e così storicamente
fondato. Infatti, la prima sezione indicherà, attraverso l'opera di
Constable e Turner, le maggiori preesistenze in Europa, al di fuori della
Francia, nei termini della più elevata qualità quanto a una nuova
interpretazione del paesaggio. La seconda sezione, intitolata
Dall'Accademia al primo plein air, intende illustrare l'evoluzione del
paesaggio da fondale scenografico, luogo in cui accadono le storie della
Mitologia e delle Sacre scritture, a genere in cui la natura, pur non
assumendo mai quella rilevanza che, negli stessi anni, le era propria con
l'opera di Constable e Turner, viene consapevolmente studiata dal vero da
pittori come Granet, Constantin, Valenciennes e, naturalmente, Corot.
Nella terza sezione, intitolata Da Barbizon al primo paesaggio
impressionista, si avrà modo di misurare quale fu la vera, incredibile
novità introdotta da quei pittori, i cui esordi sono da ricondurre ai
primissimi anni trenta, riconosciuti come gli artefici di una rottura che
segna la fine dell'ascendente teorico ed estetico del paesaggio classico. J.

 Joseph Mallord
William Turner b. 1775 London, d. 1851 London Joseph Mallord William
Turner's father, a barber and wigmaker, realized his son's artistic
talents early, asserting that "my son is going to be a painter."
Before enrolling in the Royal Academy, Turner gained some drawing
experience in the offices of several of London's leading architects. He
first exhibited watercolors of architectural subjects and then
experimented with scenes from literature and scenery designs for operatic
productions. In his early twenties Turner's focus changed to historical
landscapes. These large-scale paintings became increasingly divorced from
nature and featured the loose, luminous brushwork and abstract conceptions
for which he became known. At twenty-nine Turner opened his own gallery in
London while also painting, exhibiting his own work, and teaching at the
Royal Academy. A trip to Italy at the age of forty-four drastically
altered his style, leading to his late emphasis on the power of color and
light to create dramatic, evocative scenes. Turner's body of work includes
around three hundred paintings and over twenty thousand drawings and
watercolors, the majority of which were given to the English government
upon his death. Most are now owned by the Tate Gallery in London... Getty

(The Frick
Collection, New York) Turner entered the Royal Academy Schools at the
age of fourteen and began his career painting watercolors. His first
employment was as a topographical draftsman, in which capacity he traveled
around England in the early 1790s. In 1796 he exhibited his first oil
painting, and by 1799 he was an associate member of the Royal Academy. He
became a full Academician in 1802. Influenced by Reynolds and the
eighteenth-century landscapist Richard Wilson, Turner intended to unite
landscape with the noble genre of history painting. He traveled
extensively in England and on the Continent and made innumerable sketches,
many of which he used as the basis for paintings and prints. Turner’s
style changed considerably over his long career, but, while his late works
demonstrate the increasing dominance of abstract pictorial qualities, he
never abandoned his interest in subject matter. His pictures have a poetic
depth that is unsurpassed in British landscape painting. Works in the
