n fact, Turner's 1834 painting The Golden Bough, owned by Tate Britain, depicts Lake Avernus in Campania, with the Cumaean Sibyl, but no matter. Turner did also depict Lake Nemi, beside which in ancient times stood a sanctuary of the goddess Diana Nemorensis, Diana of the Wood; votive offerings left there can be seen today in the British Museum. The shrine, explains Frazer, was next to a sacred grove. And it's what took place inside the grove that concerns him.
Why does he invoke Turner? To answer this question is to discover the true nature of Frazer's book, The Golden Bough's golden bough.
Frazer started his book in the 1880s; Turner had died in 1851. Over the course of the book's successive editions (published in two volumes in 1890, it was expanded to 12 volumes by 1915, and condensed to a mere 714 pages in the author's own abridged version of 1922), the very identity of Turner as an artist changed. In his lifetime Turner had been controversial; people were constantly disparaging his "mustard" yellows and "harsh" light. He was famous as a painter of myth and history: a perspective on Turner of which we've almost lost sight. In 1905, the Tate Gallery exhibited a selection of some of the works left by Turner to the nation that had previously been considered unfinished; in the light of Monet it suddenly looked as if Turner had secretly invented impressionism, yet been unable to make this public in the culture of Victorian England.
他為什麼援引特納？回答這個問題就是要發現弗雷澤的書《金枝》的真正本質。
弗雷澤於 19 世紀 80 年代開始寫他的書；特納於 1851 年去世。隨著書的陸續出版（1890 年出版兩卷，1915 年擴充為 12 卷，1922 年作者本人出版的刪節版則濃縮為僅僅 714 頁），特納作為藝術家的身份也發生了變化。特納在一生中一直備受爭議；人們經常貶低他的“芥末”黃色和“刺眼”的燈光。他以神話和歷史畫家而聞名：我們對特納的這種看法幾乎已經消失了。 1905年，泰特美術館展出了特納留給國家的一些之前被認為未完成的作品；在莫內的啟發下，特納突然看起來好像秘密地發明了印象派，但在維多利亞時代的英國文化中卻無法將其公開。

溫莎城堡近日新近發現了藝術家托馬斯·庚斯博羅的素描作品。這26幅黑白粉筆素描描繪了鄉村風景、動物和樹木，其中還包括庚斯博羅1748年創作的《科納德森林》（現藏於英國國家美術館）的習作。
這些素描作品發現於一本皮面精裝畫冊中，該畫冊此前一直被誤認為是埃德溫·蘭西爾爵士的作品。 1874年，這本畫冊被贈予維多利亞女王，女王是蘭西爾的忠實擁躉，蘭西爾最著名的作品是特拉法加廣場標誌性的獅子雕塑。自此之後，這些庚斯博羅的珍寶便一直塵封在溫莎城堡皇家圖書館的版畫室中，等待被發現。
其中一幅素描是用黑色粉筆和樹樁繪製的，描繪了樹木和湖泊，湖邊有牛群，還有一位男子和他的狗。右側有一大片油漬。圖片由英國皇家收藏信託基金會提供/© 伊莉莎白二世女王陛下 2017。
「我花了多年時間才真正意識到它們是什麼，」歷史學家林賽·斯坦頓（Lindsay Stainton）在接受BBC新聞採訪時說道，她確認了這些素描的作者。
早在90年代，史丹頓就注意到這些素描與18世紀著名畫家蓋恩斯伯勒的作品有相似之處，但直到她偶然看到一張《科納德伍德》（Cornard Wood）的習作照片，才意識到這些素描不僅僅是風格類似蓋恩斯伯勒，而是真跡。
這是一幅黑色粉筆風景畫，描繪了路邊的樹木，並用鉛筆勾勒出方格以便轉印。林賽·斯坦頓指出，這幅素描是蓋恩斯伯勒早期風景畫《科納德伍德》（Cornard Wood，1748年）的方格習作，該畫現藏於倫敦國家美術館。圖片由皇家收藏信託基金提供/©英國女王伊莉莎白二世陛下 2017。

史丹頓之所以能夠將這幅畫與庚斯博羅連結起來，關鍵在於畫中出現了這位藝術家標誌性的構圖準備方法。庚斯博羅會在草圖上畫出網格和線條，以便將其從小尺寸放大到完整的畫。這幅後來被稱為《科納德伍德》的畫作的習作幾乎與最終完成的作品完全重疊。
對於這些草圖的估價，皇家收藏拒絕置評。但根據artnet價格資料庫，這位藝術家的類似草圖此前曾拍出過七位數的價格，目前的最高紀錄是一幅2013年在倫敦蘇富比拍賣行售出的黑色粉筆習作，成交價為267萬美元。

Drawings by artist Thomas Gainsborough have been newly discovered at Windsor Castle. The 26 black-and-white chalk sketches include depictions of country landscapes, animals, and trees, as well as a preparatory study for Gainsborough’s 1748 Cornard Wood, which currently hangs in the National Gallery.
The drawings were found in a leather-bound album of drawings misattributed to Sir Edwin Landseer. In 1874 the album was gifted to Queen Victoria, who was a fan of Landseer, best known as the architect of the iconic lion sculptures in Trafalgar Square. Since then, the Gainsborough treasures have been gathering dust in the Print Room of the Royal Library at Windsor Castle, waiting to be discovered.

“It took years before I realized exactly what they were” said historian Lindsay Stainton, who confirmed the authorship of the sketches, speaking to
BBC News.
Back in the ’90s, Stainton had recognized similarities in the drawings to the work of the celebrated 18th-century painter, but it wasn’t until she came upon a photograph of the study for Cornard Wood that she realized these sketches were not just Gainsborough-esque, but the real thing.

Stainton was able to make the decisive connection to Gainsborough from the presence of the artist’s signature composition-preparation method. Gainsborough covered his sketches with a grid and lines to facilitate their transfer from small scale to the full drawing, and the study for the painting later to become known as Cornard Wood overlays the finished work almost exactly.
In response to inquiries about the monetary value of the sketches, the Royal Collection declined to comment but according to the
artnet Price Database, similar sketches by the artist have previously fetched seven-figure sums, with the current record set at $
2.67 million for a black-chalk study sold at
Sotheby’s London in 2013.

Born within a year of each other, it is hard to think of two more emblematic British artists than J.M.W. Turner and John Constable—or of two greater artistic rivals.
Yet there has never been a major exhibition devoted to both. Spanning
2025 and 2026—the years of their respective 250th anniversaries—Tate Britain’s Turner and Constable will tell the story of their interlinked careers and how their proximity to each other helped define our ideas of them.
Turner (1775-1851) and Constable (1776-1837) were regularly pitted against each other, and they felt a keen sense of rivalry. Having finally become a full Royal Academician in 1829 (27 years after Turner), Constable was invited to hang the annual Summer Exhibition in 1831. He committed the faux pas of installing one of his own paintings in pride of place, next to a similarly large Turner. The move paid off: critics delighted in the comparison, dubbing the two artists “fire and water”, and cementing Constable’s long-sought status as a titan of landscape painting.
This was the story that inspired the Tate curator Amy Concannon to put on the show. At its heart is a reconstruction of that famous 1831 pairing: Turner’s Caligula’s Palace and Bridge (1831) next to Constable’s Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows (1829-31). Through similar historical reconstructions, as well as loans of rarely seen works from private collections, this show is the definitive chance to witness the battle of the elements.

1898 年，在倫敦度蜜月期間，馬蒂斯在卡米耶·畢沙羅的建議下去國家美術館觀看特納的作品。
During his honeymoon in London in 1898, ... Matisse was advised by Camille Pissarro to view the Turners in the National Gallery.
The National Gallery in London holds a significant collection of works by J.M.W. Turner, including the paintings "Dido building Carthage" and "Sun Rising through Vapour", which he bequeathed to the gallery with the condition that they be displayed alongside paintings by Claude.
Here's a more detailed look:
Turner's Bequest:
Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) left the National Gallery two paintings, "Dido building Carthage" and "Sun Rising through Vapour", with the stipulation that they be hung "always between the two pictures painted by Claude".
The Claude Paintings:
The two Claude paintings Turner specified were "The Seaport" and "The Mill".
Purpose of the Condition:
Turner's condition was intended to demonstrate that his own modern works were as great as paintings by celebrated artists of the past, particularly Claude.
Other Turner Works:
The National Gallery also holds other paintings by Turner, including "The Fighting Temeraire" and "Rain, Steam, and Speed - The Great Western Railway".
Turner's Bequest:
The Turner Bequest comprised 100 finished pictures, 182 unfinished pictures and 19,049 drawings and sketches in colour and pencil.
Tate Britain:
The majority of the bequest was transferred to the National Gallery of British Art [Tate] in 1897.
Exhibitions:
The National Gallery has hosted exhibitions exploring Turner's work, including "Turner Inspired: In the Light of Claude" and "Turner on Tour".
Turner's House:
Turner's house in Twickenham is now a museum dedicated to the artist, and has a Facebook page that often posts about Turner and other artists, including Matisse.

泰納（J. M. W. Turner）是英國歷史上最受喜愛的藝術家之一，不僅肖像登上20英鎊紙鈔，享譽全球的藝術獎項「泰納獎」亦以他為名，著名導演米克．李（Mike Leigh）也曾執導泰納的傳記電影……2025年適逢泰納250歲冥誕——泰納出生於1775年4月23日——紀念他的各式展覽、活動、計畫也將遍地開花。
.
2025年，英國眾多城市包括倫敦、愛丁堡、里茲、曼徹斯特、利物浦、諾里奇、巴斯、索塞克斯等，均計畫舉辦泰納相關展覽，更有許多書籍、電影、數位內容相繼出版。其中，泰德美術館（Tate）網站將呈獻一系列泰納3萬7500件速寫與水彩的完整目錄，並於年底推出「泰納與康斯塔伯」大展（Turner and Constable）。BBC計畫發行一部紀錄片，而米克．李於2014年的《泰納先生》（Mr. Turner）也將於BFI Southbank放映。學術界將迎來泰德不列顛美術館（Tate Britain）主辦的國際研討會，以及泰納當代美術館（Turner Contemporary）一場以藝術與自然之連結為題的高峰會。泰納紀念活動不僅限於英國，美國康乃迪克州紐黑文的耶魯英國藝術中心（Yale Center for British Art）、俄亥俄州的辛辛那提藝術博物館（Cincinnati Art Museum）與泰夫特藝術博物館（Taft Museum of Art ）也有相關展出計畫。上海浦東美術館亦與泰德美術館合作，攜手推出「對話泰納：崇高的迴響」大展。
