Exhibited at the Art Treasures, Manchester, 1857 Q^f 12 J. M. W. TURNER, R.A. G8 COWES Cowes in the middle distance, men-of-war at anchor : sun setting. " His Cowes, Isle of Wight, is a summer twilight, about half an hour or more after sunset. Intensity of repose is the great aim throughout, and the unity of tone of the picture is one of the finest things that Turner has ever done. But there is not only quietness, there is the very deepest solemnity in the whole of the light, as well as in the still- ness of the vessels; and Turner wishes to enhance tbis feeling by representing not only repose, but power in repose, the emblem, in the sea, of the quiet ships of war. Accordingly he takes the greatest possible pains to get his surface polished, calm, and smooth ; but lie indicates the reflections of a buoy, floating full a quarter of a mile off, by three black strokes, with wide intervals between them, the last of which touches the water within twenty yards of the spectator. " Now, these three reflections can only indicate the farther sides of the three rises of an enormous swell, and give by these intervals of separation a space of from twelve to twenty yards for the breadth of each wave, including the sweeps between them ; and this swell is further indicated by the reflection of the new moon falling in a wide zigzag line. " The exceeding majesty which this single circumstance gives to the whole picture, the sublime sensation of power and knowledge of former assertion which we instantly receive from it, if we have but acquaintance with nature enough to understand its language, render this work not only a piece of the most refined truth (as I have at present named it), but, to my mind, one of the highest pieces of intellectual art existing." — Bvshin'e ' Modern Painters' vol. i. p. 358.
