<p>The blue paper here provides colour for both sky and river. More unusually, Turner has also used areas of blue paper to block out the shapes of landmarks. The Church of SaintMaximin, with its pointed spire, and the ruins of the medieval castle, Coraidelstein, are left unpainted. They appear in ‘negative’ against the yellows of the hill slopes. Turner uses red ink and a very bright coral pink gouache to outline the forms of the buildings. The same luminous coral is applied to define the crags above the castle.</p><p><em>Gallery label, October 2023</em></p>
