J. M. W. Turner "Ben Arthur, Scotland" etching and mezzotint
|
|
$3,000.00
|
|
|
|
Medium: etching with engraving and mezzotint. Catalogue reference: Finberg 69 ii/iv. This is the rare second state of four. Published in London in 1819 for the Liber Studiorum (Plate 69). Drawn and etched by J. M. W. Turner and engraved by Thomas Lupton. Size: 8 1/8 x 11 3/8 inches (plate) with full margins (208 x 288mm).
Turner intended the highly ambitious Liber Studiorum to be a body of his life's work, with Romantic scenes from the British Isles and Continental Europe. One of his few Scottish subjects, Ben Arthur is considered one of Turner's finest landscapes and has been called the rarest of all the Liber Studiorum etchings.
Condition: ; there is some foxing and a mat stain, with old tape and two repaired tears in the margin. Previous collector's pencil annotations can be seen on the back in the margin, indicating that at one time it was part of an English Lord's collection. A magnificent, rich impression on laid paper, which according to the noted scholar on Turner's work William George Rawlinson, is the "Second State: Two dots at right lower corner in margin. Rare." Impressions of this print are seldom found on the market, especially in this second state.

J. M. W. Turner | John Cother Webb mezzotint "The Fighting Temeraire"
|
|
$850.00
|
|
|
|
Medium: mezzotint. Executed by John Cother Webb after the J. M. W. Turner painting and signed in pencil by John Cother Webb. Printed on chine-collé paper (china paper mounted by the publisher onto a heavy wove paper support sheet) and published in London in 1922 by The Museum Galleries; with the publisher's blindstamp in the margin. Image size: 13 x 17 1/2 inches. Plate size: 16 3/4 x 21 1/4 inches. Sheet size: 21 1/4 x 28 inches.
Condition: quite presentable for its age, with minor age-toning to the paper. Laid down (mounted) many years ago onto a paperboard backing, although the glue seems to have been applied only along the edges of the sheet, not in the area of the image.
The Fighting Temeraire is one of J. M. W. Turner's masterpieces, and in this magnificent mezzotint, John Cother Webb beautifully captures the subtleties of light and color found in the original Turner painting. A very lucky find!
