Orford Haven  1827

by Joseph Mallord William Turner

Gallery label: [br]Turner's experimentation with gouache and blue paper resulted in works that were less detailed but richer in dramatic effect. Gouache allowed him to silhouette Orford's 12th-century keep against a lurid sunset above the sheltered harbor obscured by the deep blue shadows of twilight.
