Joseph Mallord William Turner Coblenz and Ehrenbreitstein from the South 1839

Joseph Mallord William Turner, ‘Coblenz and Ehrenbreitstein from the South’ 1839
Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775–1851
Folio 46 Recto:
Coblenz and Ehrenbreitstein from the South 1839
D28441
Turner Bequest CCXC 46
Pencil on flecked off-white wove paper, 100 x 163 mm
Inscribed in blue ink by Ruskin ‘45’ top right
Stamped in black ‘CCXC–45’ bottom right
 
Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856
This swiftly rendered view is similar to that on folio 45 verso (Tate D28440; Turner Bequest CCXC 45 a). The Ehrenbreitstein is depicted very basically at top right; the spires of the Liebfrauenkirche, the Basilica of St Castor, and the Florinskirche are in the middle distance. 1
