Excerpt from J. M. W. Turner, R. A
That Turner had his failings cannot be denied, but it should be urged on his behalf that he lived in an age when such faults were lightly regarded and lightly excused.
Modern biographers seem to assume that it is for them to anticipate a judgment day and to disclose every petty fault, every serious failing of personal character. The poet, painter, musician, who spends his life in enriching the world with the fruits his genius, is shown unclothed in the full light of day, so that none may fail to mark and condemn whatever blot can be discovered on him.
