From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Inverary Castle and Town is a 1816 ink by Charles Turner, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a stormy sea with small boats carrying people near the shore. In the distance, a big castle sits on a hill, with a town below it. Tall trees lean into the wind, and a larger ship sails far out to sea. The title says this is Inveraray Castle in Scotland, and the waves look rough. The artist used shading to make the water and sky feel dramatic. Next, look up etching to see how this print was made.
Charles Turner (31 August 1774 – 1 August 1857) was an English engraver and draughtsman who specialised in portraiture. He collaborated with J. M. W. Turner (to whom he was not related) on the early plates of the same's Liber Studiorum.
