Painting by J. M. W. Turner
East Cowes Castle landscape painting by the British artist J. M. W. Turner .[ 1] Cowes Regatta and is sometimes known as The Regatta Starting for their Moorings companion piece The Regatta Beating to Windward .
In the summer of 1827 Turner was invited to stay at East Cowes Castle on the Isle of Wight by the
Regency era architect John Nash , who has designed the building himself. It was the artist's first visit to the island, which has inspired one of his breakthrough works Fishermen at Sea [ 2] Royal Yacht Club , producing many sketches of the various vessels.[ 3]
Nash commissioned two works from Turner inspired by the Regatta, both of which were displayed at the Royal Academy 's Summer Exhibition at Somerset House in 1828.[ 4] John Ruskin later wrote it was "to my mind, one of the highest pieces of intellectual art existing". Today it is in the Victoria and Albert Museum having been donated by the art collector John Sheepshanks in 1857.[ 5]
