1826
unspecified
From the collection of Tate Britain
Sketch for "Nantes from the Ile Feydeau." is a 1826 unspecified by Joseph Mallord William Turner, held at Tate Britain.
The painting shows a serene scene of a river with boats and buildings along its banks. The sky above is a soft, pale blue. In the foreground, people are gathered near the water's edge, while boats of various sizes are moored or sailing on the river. The buildings along the riverbank are depicted in a range of colors, from warm earth tones to cooler blues and grays. This painting is a beautiful example of J.M.W. Turner's work, and it would be interesting to explore more of his art at the Tate Britain.
Joseph Mallord William Turner was born in 1775 at Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, where his father kept a barber and wig-making shop.
