"Isleworth" is a mezzotint by J.M.W. Turner, created in 1819 as part of his *Liber Studiorum*. The print depicts a serene landscape with a classical temple overlooking a lake. The composition is characterized by a soft, hazy atmosphere, as is typical of Turner's work, and is known for its delicate use of tonal values. This specific print was part of Turner's "Liber Studiorum" - a series of 71 prints that he created to demonstrate his mastery of various artistic techniques and his ability to capture the essence of natural beauty. This plate features a classic Italianate landscape that Turner likely never actually visited.
