About This Book

The author traces the painter's life and creative development in a chronological narrative, pairing biographical episodes with close readings of watercolours and oils. Early training and public reception give way to travels and an extended Italian period that expand his palette and subject range; recurring concerns with light, atmosphere, and the sea are examined through studies of major works and sketchbooks. Attention is given to transitional phases, celebrated public successes, later experiments with unresolved canvases, and the posthumous handling and artist's bequest, all illustrated by numerous colour plates.
