I have nothing to contribute sadly but great thread OP

Holy shit, these are incredible.
Just when I'm ready to give up on /hr/, we're treated to gems like this.

op as much as I love Turner, really I do. Ive gone through all of his notebooks, some 40,000 images. Even he himself said, "Had Girtin lived, I should have starved." Thomas Girtin, a painter largely forgotten because of his early death at the age of 27 would have gone to rival any artist of the day.

That is astoundingly beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful.

great stuff

These paintings came from such a still and sensitive heart. I feel like a child looking at some of these.

He was a pretty good painter.

I've loved his work since I was 17/18, just turned 41yrs old. I studied art at college and was captivated by his violent sea scapes, been a fan ever since.

>>2876346
This one's my favorite.

One of my favorite paintings.
Great thread OP.
