<p>This watercolour is a study for one of  the prints in the Liber Studiorum (Book  of Studies). This was an ambitious publication which Turner hoped would demonstrate the range, and improve  the status, of landscape art.</p><p>The prints were divided into six different categories of landscape: pastoral,  epic pastoral, historical, mountainous,  marine and architectural. This is a marine landscape, derived from an oil painting called Ships Bearing up for Anchorage, which Turner exhibited in 1802.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
