Summary "Turner's Golden Visions" by C. Lewis Hind is a detailed account of the life and work of the renowned English painter J.M.W. Turner, written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of Turner’s artistic vision, emphasizing his journey from early sketches to his grand masterpieces, while celebrating the profound effect he had on landscape painting. It provides insights into both his personal life and the development of his art during pivotal periods of his career. The opening of "Turner's Golden Visions" introduces a young boy who discovers Turner’s work in the National Gallery, particularly captivated by the painting "View of Orvieto." The boy reflects on Turner's ability to evoke emotions through his art, suggesting that Turner was more an interpreter of sublime visions than a mere realist. As the boy grows into a man, he becomes increasingly fascinated with Turner’s life and artistic journey, exploring how his unique experiences shaped his creations. Turner's dual nature as an artist—part genius, part tradesman—is also hinted at, suggesting an intriguing complexity that will be unraveled further throughout the text.
