G. A. Turner — Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

G. A. Turner is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

G. A. Turner put paint on canvas in 1843 to capture dancer Fanny Cerrito as the water spirit Ondine in the ballet *Ondine, ou La Naïade*. This mid-1800s image belongs to the theatrical portrait tradition that recorded ballerinas mid-leap or pose, turning stage glamour into genteel parlor art. See the way Turner frames Cerrito’s gauzy skirt against a soft sky—right in the middle of our gallery tile. Tap to zoom in on the silk folds and the faint blush on her pointe.
