Georgia, Liz and I drove up to Salem to visit the J.M.W.Turner exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum. Turner was one of the great romantic 17th Century English landscape painters and long one of my favorite artists. The exhibition was magnificent and comprehensive. We also visited the Peabody Essex's other galleries, including one of the most comprehensive collections of maritime paintings and models anywhere. The Peabody is also known for its many artifacts from the early days of the China and East Indies trade. In fact, the museum's founders were sea captains and traders from that era, when Salem was one of the pre-eminent ports of the early American Republic.

The Turner Exhibit

Joseph Mallord William Turner, a member of the Royal Academy was an English Romantic landscape painter, water-colourist, and printmaker. Turner was considered a controversial figure in his day, but is now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting. Although renowned for his oil paintings, Turner is also one of the greatest masters of British watercolour landscape painting. He is commonly known as "the painter of light" and his work is regarded as a Romantic preface to Impressionism. Some of his works are cited as examples of abstract art prior to its recognition in the early twentieth century.
