Overview

English summary: Joseph Mallord William Turner is regarded as the most important British landscape painter of the Romantic period and as a ""master of light."" With his revolutionary painting style and experimental painting techniques, he is often seen as a key figure in the transition of painting into modernism. This volume presents some 80 of his works, focusing on his travels to Switzerland and Italy, his encounter with the Alps and his paintings of mountains and sea, whose enormous natural forces trigger horror and fear. The viewers of a shipwreck depiction or a painted avalanche will also feel this ""horror,"" but they know about the fiction of the portrayed and can therefore feel pleasure at the same time. It is precisely this ""eerie beauty,"" the aesthetic concept of the sublime, that plays a special role in Turner's examination of nature. German description: Joseph Mallord William Turner gilt als der bedeutendste britische Landschaftsmaler der Romantik und als ""Meister des Lichts"". Mit seiner revolutionaren Malweise und mit experimentellen Maltechniken wird er oft als Schlusselfigur beim Ubergang der Malerei in die Moderne gesehen. Der Band stellt etwa 80 seiner Werke vor, fokussiert auf die Reisen in die Schweiz und nach Italien, auf seine Begegnung mit den Alpen und auf seine Bilder von Bergen und Meer, deren gewaltige naturliche Krafte im Menschen Grauen und Furcht auslosen. Auch die Betrachter einer Schiffbruchdarstellung oder eines gemalten Lawinenabgangs werden diesen ""Horror"" spuren, doch sie wissen um die Fiktion des Dargestellten und konnen deshalb zugleich Genuss empfinden. Es ist eben dieses ""Schaurig-Schone"", das asthetische Konzept des Erhabenen, das in Turners Auseinandersetzung mit der Natur eine besondere Rolle spielt.
