| Summary |
"Set against the backdrop of the Atlantic slave trade, this book traces the development, exhibition, and final disposition of one of J.M.W. Turner's greatest and most memorable paintings. The book also analyzes the man behind the painting. Aloof, gruff and mysterious, Turner resisted success"-- Provided by publisher |
