Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 41 Recto:
Hackfall, Looking East from near the Rustic Temple 1816
D10944
Turner Bequest CXLIV 41
Pencil on white wove paper, 154 x 97 mm
Trace of inscription in red ink, possibly by John Ruskin, ‘41’ top right
Stamped in black ‘CXLIV 41’ bottom right
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
This is the right half of a double-page spread continued from folio 41 (D10943), opposite, and the panorama is continued further right on folio 42 (D10945). It is taken from near the Rustic Temple looking east to Magdalen Woods on the far bank, with the River Ure sweeping round at our feet from left to right. The Large Farnley sketchbook (Tate D09054; Turner Bequest CXXVIII 38) has a detailed drawing of the landscape recorded in the right half of this spread and its continuation on folio 42 (D10945), as seen from a similar angle but from the higher vantage point of the Banqueting House, which appears to be the culmination of Turner’s explorations at Hackfall in 1816.
For Hackfall in this sketchbook see folio 40 verso (D10943).
