Hardcover. Zustand: Good + overall. First edition?.. J.M.W. Turner [1775-1851] was an English romantic painter who was very popular during his lifetime, and whose style developed over time to be more Impressionistic. Wornum was also a British artist and art historian. In 1860-1, Wornum was chiefly instrumental in getting the Turner collection, which had been banished first to Marlborough House, and then to South Kensington (1856-60), restored to its place in the National Gallery, in accordance with the terms of the artist's bequest. Wornum worked with John Ruskin on this project. During 1861 he edited, in a sumptuous folio, with memoir and notes, 'The Turner Gallery' forming a series of sixty engravings. In the Introduction to 'The Turner Gallery' Wornum pleaded for an enlargement of the Trafalgar Square galleries, which were quite inadequate to contain the 725 pictures then belonging to the nation.
