Lot 2012: * A pair of framed prints after two celebrated compositions by Joseph Mallord William Turner

A pair of framed prints after two celebrated compositions by Joseph Mallord William Turner. These works showcase the artist’s mastery of both tranquil, pastoral English landscape and dramatic, Romantic Welsh topography. 1. CONWY CASTLE, NORTH WALES: A powerful and evocative view of the medieval Conwy Castle situated on its rocky headland, likely based on Turner’s c. 1798 or c. 1802 watercolour. The composition is highly Romantic, featuring a turbulent sky and bright light breaking through the clouds, illuminating the castle and foreground figures—possibly fishermen—emphasising the dramatic relationship between human activity and the raw power of nature. 2. ABINGDON: A calmer contrast, depicting a view of the town of Abingdon in Oxfordshire, typically showing the river Thames, Abingdon Bridge, and the surrounding scenery. This image reflects Turner’s ability to capture the placid beauty of the English countryside, often bathed in a soft, golden, atmospheric light. Glazed and framed 50 x 45cm (Loc 5th Corridor)
