Joseph Mallord William Turner

Turner’s copies of his own paintings, which were intended as a final statement on his art, eventually numbered 70 prints that were collected as the Liber Studiorum (Book of Studies). They had an influence on many artists and critics in the 19th century, like John Ruskin.
