FOGG MUSEUM HAS IMPRESSIONS OF TURNER'S "LIBER STUDIORUM"

Boston Museum of Fine Arts Loans Collection of Landscapes Dating From Early Nineteenth Century

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Impressions of 70 different plates of Turner's "Liber Studiorum" are at present on exhibition at the Fogg Art Museum. This remarkable collection was loaned by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and will remain here for about a month.

The "Liber Studiorum" was designed and carried out by Turner between 1807 1819. He intended it to be an original work which would be a record of the variety and strength of his landscape painting. Turner made the drawings for the most part in sepia, etching only the main outlines. The work was then finished by an engraver under his supervision. Among the impressions now on exhibition at the Museum are proofs, corrected by Turner himself, of the "Sheep-Washing", "Windsor Castle", and other notable works.
