Quote: A MAGNIFICENT COMPOSITION William Turner - Interior of Salisbury Cathedral (watercolor on paper, circa 1802 - 1805)
Such a wonderful painting.
Having visited the cathedral I can vouch for the accurate feel of this image.
Quite superb. Having tried to do an accurate painting of a monastry and coping with the details I know just how good the perspective is.
