中文简介：

本次出版标志着从纽约弗里克收藏馆借来的J. M. W. Turner(1775-1851)的两幅开创性油画重返英国，这两幅油画分别是《迪耶普的港口：住所的改变》和《科隆，一艘邮船的到来：夜晚》。1914年，它们被美国实业家Henry Clay Frick收购，此后一直是弗里克收藏中的杰作。

这两幅作品创作于19世纪20年代中期，体现了Turner一生对港口和海港这一动态过渡场所的迷恋。它们分别于1825年和1826年在皇家学院展出，以强烈的视觉效果展示了Turner在欧洲定期写生旅行的成果，这是他作为艺术家和旅行家的核心，也是他对色彩、光线和笔触的激进处理。这本图文并茂的出版物探讨了Turner的创作过程，以及他在旅行中使用素描本和水彩画来记录他的想法。

英文简介：

This publication marks the return to the United Kingdom, for the first time in over a century, of two groundbreaking oil paintings by J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851), on loan from The Frick Collection in New York: Harbour of Dieppe: Changement de Domicile and Cologne, the Arrival of a Packet-Boat: Evening. They were acquired by wealthy American industrialist Henry Clay Frick in 1914 and have remained in the USA ever since.

Painted in the mid-1820s, Dieppe and Cologne exemplify Turner's lifelong fascination with the subject of ports and harbors⁠—past and present⁠—as dynamic, transitional places. Exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1825 and 1826 respectively, they represent in powerfully visual terms the outcomes of Turner's regular sketching tours within Europe that were central to his fame as an artist-traveler, as well as his radical approach to color, light, and brushwork. This sumptuously illustrated publication examines Turner's creative process, and his use of sketchbooks and watercolors to capture his ideas as he traveled.
