Eine illustrierte Übersicht über Aquarellmalerei mit etwa 285 farbigen Reproduktionen und 60 in Schwarzweiß.

William Turner (1775 - 1851) gelangt in seinem Werk zu einzigartiger - fast abstrakter - Farbigkeit und atmosphärischer Lichtdurchdrungenheit. Unerreicht sind seine zarten Aquarelle, deren Ausdruckskraft er später in die Ölmalerei umzusetzen weiß. Turners Persönlichkeit wird in Briefen, Gedichten, Notizen und zeitgenössischen Quellen lebendig, die in sechs Kapitel eingewoben sind. Dem Text folgen Chronologien des jeweiligen Jahrzehnts, die ebenfalls Originalzitate des Künstlers, die Routen seiner Reisen sowie Passagen aus seinen Skizzenbüchern und weiteres vielfältiges Dokumentationsmaterial enthalten.
