    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Ausgedehnte Reisen in Großbritannien und Kontinentaleuropa waren für J. M. William Turner die unerschöpfliche Inspirationsquelle für seine visionären Farbkompositionen. In der Schweiz erlebte er die Schönheit und Bedrohlichkeit der Alpen, am Meer die Farbklänge des diffusen Lichts. Das Buch präsentiert einen unvergleichlich originellen Maler auf dem Weg zur Autonomie der Kunst.

    Long description:

    Extensive journeys in Britain and continental Europe provided an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the visionary colour composi-tions of J. M. William Turner. In Switzerland he experienced the beauty and menace of the Alps, and by the sea the colourful harmonies of the diffuse light. The publication presents an incomparably original artist on his route to autonomy in art.

    The temporary peace on the continent from 1802 enabled the London artist to extend his search for motifs to Central Europe. In particular he travelled through the mountain world of Switzerland, constantly sketching his impressions. Back in his studio, he developed the unique imagery of his sublime landscape paintings. Through pictures which tell of the forces of nature of the sea and of the Swiss mountain landscapes, the authors examine the change in the portrayal of the sublime, the subject of weather phenomena and Turners role as the forerunner of Modernism, while Cees Nooteboom reflects on Turner and travel.
