MWW Artwork of the Day (5/29/22) Joseph Mallord William Turner (British, 1775-1851) The Scarlet Sunset (c. 1830–40) Watercolor & gouache on paper, 13.4 x 18.9 cm. The Tate Gallery, London (Turner Bequest CCLIX 101)

This composition is painted with a limited range of colours, arranged to give strong contrasts between primary colours. It also incorporates the pale blue wove paper so that it makes a significant contribution to the image. Artists who try to copy a Turner watercolour in order to understand his methods often seem to be drawn to this work, and a description of one way to go about it, using modern materials, has recently been published. Turner quite often used blue paper, especially at this period. It was usually of medium or heavy weight, made predominantly from linen fibres, and like all his papers it was prepared by the manufacturer with an animal glue size on both sides.

“Snow Storm: Hannibal and His Army Crossing the Alps” (1812), J.M.W. Turner

Light, light, light. Light in all its effervescence; light falling in scattered shining flecks, shimmering incandescent pigment. Light like it had never before been painted. J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) became the leading artist of his era.

A photo of the full moon rising behind the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion, near Athens, Greece in early July.

"The fragmented columns of the ruined structure, dedicated to the formidable "master of the sea", glimmered amber in the amplified lunar light of the so-called "Buck Moon" – a Native American designation for a full moon that coincides with the emergence of a male deer's new antlers. The magic sparked by the quiet friction of moonlight against ancient stone ignited the imagination of British Romantic artist JMW Turner. His 1834 painting The Temple of Poseidon at Sunium (Cape Colonna), which illustrates a scene from Lord Byron's satirical epic poem Don Juan, is testimony to the timeless allure of the visionary scene."

After the eruption of the Tambora volcano in Indonesia in 1815, particulates in the atmosphere caused cloudier skies and more colorful sunsets. Artists all over the world captured the atmospheric effects, even though they didn't know what was causing the changes:

JMW Turner’s sketchbook of sky studies is full of dramatic red-and-orange sunsets:

Perhaps the most iconic Tambora painting is Caspar David Friedrich’s 1818 Woman Before the Rising Sun:

anyways before it's over also wishing a happy trafalgar day specifically to: jmw turner for spending weeks with naval officers correcting his painting of the victory over his shoulder & still managing to produce something they all hated on purpose; the person that wrote the hardy monument sign that mentions he's famous for kissing nelson but doesn't explain who nelson was, making me think they were gay as a kid; whoever the french guy who shot him was, because wow; and most importantly all the ceramicists and other artists & manufacturers who got to capitalize on the battle by producing a truly impressive amount of nelson commemorative merchandise, some of it hideous

Highlights From a Recent Visit to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Jean Baptiste Armand Guillaumin (French, 1841-1927) Bridge in the Mountains • 1887 • oil on canvas

Paul Cézanne (French, 1839-1906) • Madame Cézanne in a Red Armchair • c. 1877 • oil on canvas

Gustave Caillebotte (French, 1848-1894) • Les dahlias, jardin du Petit Gennevilliers • 1893 • oil on canvas

Giuseppe Maria Crespi Italian (Bolognese, 1665-1747) •

Woman Tuning a Lute • c. 1700-05 • Oil on canvas

Joseph Mallord William Turner (English, 1775-1851)

Slave Ship (Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying, Typhoon Coming On), 1840 • Oil on canvas

At first glance, a dazzling sunset distracts from the confusion and terror in the foreground of this painting. Its lengthy title alludes to an atrocity, probably the 1781 incident of the slave ship Zong. The ship's crew murdered 132 sick and dying enslaved Africans by throwing them overboard to collect insurance money for those "lost at sea." The resulting outcry galvanized abolitionism in Britain.

Paul Signac (French, 1863-1935) • Antibes, The Pink Cloud • 1916 • Oil on canvas

In a 1916 letter to a critic, Signac annotated a sketch of this "portrait of a cloud" to reveal the cloud's "personalities." He referred to the vaporous form at upper left as Loïe Fuller-an American dancer who had taken Paris by storm in the 1890s-and pointed out "some Michelangelesque figures" in the dark underside of the cloud at right. Signac called the German gunboats in the lower right corner "the black squadron."

Paul Signac (French, 1863-1935) • Port of Saint-Cast • 1890 • Oil on canvas

Port of Saint-Cast is one of a series of four seascapes that Signac painted along the coast of Brittany in northwest France.

Eugène Louis Boudin French (1824-1898) Fashionable Figures on the Beach • 1865 • Oil on panel

Carlo Crivelli (Italian [Venetian]), c. 1430/35-c. 1495

Lamentation over the Dead Christ, 1485 • Tempera on panel

With its gilding and elaborate patterning, this painting feels like a precious object. The raised decoration and the dimensionality of the forms heighten the intensity of Jesus's suffering. John the Evangelist's mouth stretches wide in grief, while the Virgin Mary's face bears the agony of losing her son. The perspective encourages the viewer to look up at the dead Christ, just as Mary Magdalen does while supporting his body. The fruits and vegetables hanging above, lush and full of life, have specific meanings, but together they remind the viewer that Christ will soon be resurrected. Crivelli, a master of pairing ornamental splendor with emotive power, has signed and dated the painting along the stone ledge.

#and in case you were wondering yes doing this decoration and making this guide and making this post were all forms of procrastination #in fact I'm going to put this in the tags for the fics I'm supposed to be working on #because if I'm documenting my writing process then I should also show what I do instead of writing. lol #placeholder tag
