FOOTNOTES:
[A] “Biographies of the Great Artists--J. M. W. Turner, R.A.,” Sampson
Low, 1897, p. 27. Of the many biographies of Turner, this, although
slight, gives probably the best and truest view of him and his work.
[B] Turner’s conception of nature, I may remark, is identical with that
of Sir Joshua Reynolds, who says: “My notion of nature comprehends not
only the forms which nature produces, but also the nature and internal
fabric and organisation ... of the human mind and imagination.”
