1819
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Isis is a 1819 ink by Joseph Mallord William Turner, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a quiet garden with tall trees and a small temple. The trees are thick and dark, while the temple sits on a raised platform. In the background, there’s a distant view of hills and a few scattered buildings. Notice the tiny details in the bushes and the way the artist used lines to create depth. The whole scene looks peaceful, like a secret spot in nature. Want to see more? Check out Turner, Joseph Mallord William.
Joseph Mallord William Turner was born in 1775 at Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, where his father kept a barber and wig-making shop.
