The Turner Gold Medal, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The Turner Gold Medal, 1864. This medal...is interesting as part of the munificent public bequest of the great painter whose name and portrait are engraved thereon...The designs for the medal were made by Mr. D. Maclise, R.A...The obverse bears a portrait of Turner's strongly-marked profile...Around the head is the inscription, "Joseph Mallord William Turner, R.A. Nat. 1775, Ob. 1851." On the reverse there is [a] poetical design...A young painter, with pallet, brushes, and easel, leaning on a shield, lies among vine and laurel leaves, lost in an intoxication more delicious than that of wine or fame, contemplating a scene like that of the Bay of Naples, from which Phoebus Apollo is just retiring, with his glorious car in a blaze of inimitable effulgence. An Italian character is given by the vine leaves, the lizard on the shield, and a fragment of tessellated pavement in the foreground...the three primary colours which compose the rainbow, and from which all other colours and hues are derived, are further personified by three beautiful females - the three Graces of colour, we might call them - who from their heavenly arch intently watch the youthful genius. Above all is a small circlet of stars, emblematic of the immortal crown to be won'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

EDITORS COMMENTS
A testament to artistic excellence and enduring legacy, this stunning print captures The Turner Gold Medal, awarded in 1864. Designed by renowned artist David Maclise RA, the medal honors Joseph Mallord William Turner's remarkable life and work. On one side, a powerful portrait of Turner himself gazes out with his characteristic intensity, surrounded by an inscription that bears witness to his birth and passing years. The reverse is where true artistic magic unfolds. A young painter lies amidst lush vine leaves and laurel foliage, lost in contemplation as they gaze upon the breathtaking scene before them - reminiscent of the Bay of Naples at sunset. The air is filled with the essence of creativity, symbolized by a shield adorned with a lizard and tessellated pavement fragments. Above this idyllic setting, three beautiful females personify the primary colors that comprise the rainbow: red, yellow, and blue. They watch over the youthful genius below with an intensity reminiscent of their own celestial abode. A small circlet of stars crowns it all, a poignant reminder of the eternal reward awaiting those who strive for artistic greatness. This exquisite print is not only a tribute to Turner's remarkable life but also a celebration of artistry and creativity that transcends time.
