Paul and Thomas Sandby

B.T. Batsford in association with the Victoria & Albert Museum

In this new study of the Sanby brothers Luke Herrman undertakes a neccessary reappraisal of two artists who can both claim the title of 'Father of English Watercolour'. Paul Sanby (1731-1809), though sometimes out of fashion, has never been ignored. Thomas Sanby (1723-1798), although prominent in the art and architecture of the later eighteenth century, has been overshadowed in reputation by his younger brother.This monograph, besides re-assessment of both artists, provides a detailed catalogue of over 50 watercolours and drawings in the Victoria & Albert Museum and the important Carr Album, covering all aspects of the Sandbys' careers. The catalogue is preceded by accounts of the life and work of both brothers -- material which in the past has been difficult of access, or published in patchy and sometimes unreliable sources. Professor Herrmann demonstrates the substantial contribution of the Sandbys to British landscape and topographical art, with the help of research pursued over ten years in England and the United States.

<p>"Turner Prints" is the first book for over 75 years to deal exclusively with the engraved work of J.M.W.Turner, the most popular British artist, both in Britain and abroad. Now that the long neglected subject of artists' prints has again come into favour among collectors, scholars and students, it is timely to publish this critical survey, which studies and assesses Turner's work for and with his engravers in the context of his development as a whole. The book contains a checklist of all the prints associated with Turner, a glossary of printmaking terms and a biographical outline.</p>

Turner Prints: The Engraved Work of J.M.W. Turner

New York University Press

This illuminating volume explores a century in British painting that produced an enormous variety of work, ranging from the beginnings of Romanticism in the late 18th century to the British adoption of impressionism in the late 19th century. Dividing this prolific period into nine sections, the work of each artist is discussed, analyzed, and presented in biographical context. With longer sections devoted to such maior figures as Lawrence, Turner, Constable, Rossetti, Leighton, and Whistler, the artists are placed in the framework of their historical, social, and economic backgrounds. The majority of the paintings and drawings that are examined are handsomely reproduced in more than 300 plates, making this an excellent choice for students, connoisseurs, and collectors as well as anyone interested in British art. Among Luke Herrmann's books is J.M.W. Turner Watercolours and Drawings.
