This is the blog post I should have done yesterday – on the 250th anniversary of the birth Joseph William Mallord Turner on 23 April April 1775 in Maiden Lane in Covent Garden #turner250
Below is a list of all my blog posts about some aspect of Turner since I started writing this blog. They all include images of various works by Turner – and some even include my versions
Many of you will never have seen or read them.
However, beware the links to pages relating to the Turner Bequest at Tate Britain. They revamped their website – without bothering to do any 301 commands to take people from old URLs to new URLs. In part bebcause they’ve dumped a lot of their content relating to Turner which used to be on the website – which is a very great shame.
