Charles Turner (1773-1857) was one of Britain's most accomplished mezzotint engravers, and this large 1805-07 print reproduces “The Shipwreck,” a dramatic marine painting by his contemporary J. M. W. Turner (no relation, despite the shared surname). The mezzotint captures a small boat of survivors struggling against towering waves after a ship has gone down at sea, translating Turner's turbulent brushwork into the rich, velvety blacks and silvery highlights unique to the mezzotint process. It was among the first individual prints made after one of J. M. W. Turner's paintings, helping build the reputation he would hold for the rest of his career as Britain's foremost painter of the sublime and stormy sea.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.
This was a gift for my sister and she called me the day it arrived. The scale works perfectly for A Shipwreck and nothing feels cramped. The value here is so good that I keep expecting to find the catch. It was the first thing my mother noticed when she visited…

very pleased
I've had it in place for two weeks and I notice it every time I walk past. The color choices Turner made in A Shipwreck come through clearly. It has already paid for itself in compliments.

Exactly what the home office needed
I was expecting good and got great. My daughter recognized A Shipwreck from her art class and was thrilled. It has not faded at all in a room that gets brutal afternoon light. It washed up beautifully on cold and came out looking new.
Wonderful to read, thank you. We put a lot of thought into how these are packed, so it is good to know that came through.

One star is generous
The whole thing looks like it was made in a hurry by someone who did not care. Whatever scan of A Shipwreck they used, it did not come from a good source.
We dropped the ball here and I apologize. Write to us directly and we will refund the full amount, including what you paid to ship it back.
