Charles Frederick Godbold Turner
Charles Frederick Godbold Turner is an Impressionism artist. 10 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Charles Frederick Godbold Turner spent his life drawing the small stuff most people ignore: the worn stone of cathedral steps, the faded embroidery on an old priest’s robe, the way light slants through a church window. He kept a pencil in his waistcoat pocket and sketched wherever he wandered, churchyards included. If you’ve ever paused in front of a church to admire the carvings or the colors in the glass, you’ve felt what Turner spent hours recording. Look up the drawing “Stained glass, tiles &c.”—it’s the kind of quiet record that makes you notice details you’d otherwise miss.
