Description

This auction catalog was published for the Sotheby's New York January 29, 2009 sale of Joseph Mallord William Turner's monumental painting "The Temple of Jupiter Panellenius." The painting had an estimate of $12,000,000-$16,000,000. The catalog contains three essays examining the painting within the context of Turner's life and work and Britain's cultural climate in the 1810s, noting the parallels between Turner's painting, the literary works of Byron, and the exhibition of the Elgin Marbles in London.
