Summary

** "Turner's Water-Colours at Farnley Hall" by A. J. Finberg is a historical look at the bond between the artist J.M.W. Turner and his supporter, Mr. Walter Fawkes, mainly through the collection of water-colour paintings at Farnley Hall. It starts by talking about when Turner and Fawkes first met, around 1802 in Yorkshire, and how their shared interest in Turner's Swiss-inspired art helped them connect. Fawkes became a key supporter who purchased Turner's art, influencing his work during visits to Farnley Hall and leading to a deep collaboration. The story is about a rewarding partnership that led to an amazing collection of art that is still appreciated now, focusing on both the creations and the personal relationship that impacted Turner's art at the time. **
