1819 -1840 · Rome, Tivoli and classical memory
Neapolitan fisherman, Campo Vaccino, Banned Ovid and Pifferari show Turner between lived Italy, reconstructed Antiquity, literature and modern popular life.
Turner discovered Italy in 1819 after years of studying Claude Lorrain and classical tradition. Rome, Naples, Tivoli, Orvieto and the lakes become the stages of a journey that is both real and mental. Modern Rome - Campo Vaccino brings together ruins, churches, livestock and evening light on the ancient Forum, bringing together several temporalities. Ancient Italy - Ovid Banished from Rome transforms the landscape into a memory of exile. Ancient Italy - Ovid Banished from Rome transforms the landscape into a memory of exile. The pifferari, modern traveling musicians, offer a popular counterpoint to monumental Antiquity. Undine giving the ring to Massaniello connects Germanic legend and Neapolitan fisherman in a luminous shore. Turner returns to Rome in 1828 and works in a workshop open to the public, then continues Italy from memory. His late works do not lose topography: they make it depend on the sun, history and accumulated visual culture. The selection "Italy by JMW Turner" notably compares Undine Giving the Ring to Massaniello, Fisherman of Naples and Modern Rome - Campo Vaccino. His reading favors drawing.
Turner's Italy superimposes times: a herd crosses the Forum, Ovid looks at Rome and the light transforms each ruin into active memory.
