EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed artist J. M. W. Turner and his close friend and patron, Walter Ramsden Fawkes, in a moment of camaraderie at Farnley Hall. Painted by John Robert Wildman between 1820-24, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the deep bond shared between these two influential figures. Turner, clad in a vibrant red coat that exudes his artistic flair, stands alongside Fawkes amidst the picturesque landscape of Wharfedale, Yorkshire. The composition beautifully balances their presence with the grandeur of nature surrounding them. Fawkes, not only an intimate friend but also a Member of Parliament and accomplished writer himself, played a significant role in supporting Turner's career as an artist. This portrait serves as a testament to their enduring friendship and mutual admiration. The setting itself is no ordinary backdrop; it is none other than Fawkes' own estate where they stand - Farnley Hall. The house stands tall behind them while two loyal dogs accompany them on this serene day. With its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance, this painting offers us a glimpse into the personal lives of these remarkable individuals who shaped British art and culture during their time. Displayed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this extraordinary piece continues to inspire viewers with its beauty and narrative power centuries after its creation.
