A View From The Castle Of St. Michael, Bonneville, Savoy, From The Banks Of The Arve River by Joseph Mallard William Turner - Prints and Ready to Hang Canvas Panels
In this serene depiction, Turner captures the tranquility of a pastoral moment amid the sweeping Swiss Alps. A young shepherdess reclines on a rock, goats graze peacefully, and a sunbaked town lies in the distance. Despite the recent turmoil of war, this scene exudes undisturbed timelessness. Turner's fascination with this region is evident in his series of studies, particularly this one, painted around 1811. What sets this watercolor apart is Turner's use of vivid, bright pigments. The brilliance of the sun on the stone, the shimmering white of the town, and the vibrant blue of the mountains create a striking contrast.
At the forefront of the composition, a dozing goattess captures attention. This intentional use of a reclining figure, reminiscent of works by Old Masters like Aelbert Cuyp and Thomas Gainsborough, draws viewers into the landscape, fostering a sense of connection. Turner's personal experience as a fisherman, combined with his move to the tranquil riverside town of Twickenham, likely influenced his portrayal of this peaceful scene.
Commissioned by Turner's patron Walter Fawkes, this watercolor was exhibited in 1819, captivating viewers with its romantic magnificence. Turner's magic lies not in precise topographical accuracy but in his ability to render Alpine scenery in an inviting, idyllic manner. This work marked a turning point in Turner's artistic confidence, liberating his art from strict realism and embracing a new style where color and poetic essence took precedence. Recognized as a transformative moment in art history, Turner's approach heralded a new epoch in the evolution of artistic expression.

If you're a fan of Impressionist Art then you will love this poster.
The print is beautiful. Exactly what I expected and arrived on time. Customer service is top notch. Would order again.
Ordered a print of "The Secret School" for my husband who has been hinting for it for a long while. The quality is *excellent* - I love it, and know he will too when he gets it as a gift! Very impressed with the quality -- also the packing... zero issues coming "across the pond" here to the US. :)
After finding the print I wanted to purchase I also chose a black wood frame with mount and the picture looks fantastic ,will definitely be ordering again .
I bought two prints and l love them both. The quality is very good.
They arrived very quickly and well packaged.
We just received the fine art print (artist PS Kroyer) and are thrilled. The quality of the print and the art paper used are extraordinary and preserve perfectly the colours of the original art. It was extremely well wrapped and packed in a very solid cardboard tube. I highly recommend Gallery Thane for their service and speed of completing our order.
Really great print, excellent quick service, thanks.
Fantastic service from James and delighted with the print , frame and delivery so prompt.
Highly recommend.
Bought this print to replace a faded framed copy. It arrived sooner than expected and very well wrapped. The paper was excellent quality. It’s back on the wall looking brighter and better than ever.
I was looking for something different to adorn my office walls following a recent refurbishment and these fitted the bill perfectly. I work for the company they were originally designed for, so really like the heritage and retro feel they bring. Paired with some black IKEA Ribba frames they look really striking. A little pricey, but worth the investment I feel.
I purchased this as a remembrance to my grandmother Mamoo, who was born in 1895. She had a print hanging in her living room. As a child I just loved it. I had it for years then passed it a long to her great granddaughter but I wanted a small print. It is just beautiful and I love it!
Great!!
Excellent company, no hesitation in recommending them at all. Order was posted within a day and arrived well packed. The print itself is fantastic quality. James was extremely helpful with a couple of questions I had. Many thanks.
Immediate dispatch and great quality.
This is not my first order from Gallery Thane and they never disappoint. The print quality of the paper are fantastic. They are my go to company whenever I'm buying a new print. Highly recommended.
