Turner’s Whaling Pictures
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin, Spring 2016

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

On especially pleasurable aspect of working on the Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin is the opportunity to take a close look at a less well-known aspect of the Museum and its smaller exhibitions. This short book focused on a small group of J. M. W. Turner’s maritime paintings and drawings. This book had slightly less text than other Bulletins, so I was able to give things a bit more room to breathe. Set in Le Monde Livre with Poetica as the display type.
