Turner's progress is traced from his apprenticeship in the Picturesque to his early maturity as a one-man avant garde in the Royal Academy. He travels in England, Wales and Scotland, then explores the Alps.
He lingers on the Thames and spends his summers on the Devonshire coast or in the Yorkshire Dales : in 1817, he takes his sketchbooks to the Rhineland and then in 1819 to Venice and Rome.
These sketches add an extra dimension to the understanding of Turner's genuis and creative processes.
