Of all the cities of Britain, Leeds was one of the most important to Turner. In 1816 he painted a panoramic view of the city, which was the first industrial cityscape by any nationally recognised artist, literally the prototype image of industry. In this book, published by Jeremy Mills Publishing for Leeds Museums and Galleries, David Hill explores Turner's associations with Leeds, from Kirkstall Abbey to the great estates of Harewood and Farnley; though the scenery of Airedale and Wharfedale, to the developing city of Leeds itself. Turner and Leeds: Image of Industry reproduces all the most important paintings and sketches of the area, charting Turner's developing understanding of the world changing as the agrarian past made room for an industrial future.
