Turner was so dazzled by the light throughout Italy on his first tour in 1819 that he amended his practice to include watercolor sketches done on the spot, such as one dashed off in sight of the perched town of Tivoli, twenty miles east of Rome.
Turner's Italian sketches were among his bequest to the National Gallery in London in 1851 where they were seen and admired for the first time by students such as Hercules Brabazon Brabazon.
Brabazon Brabazon "uses Turner's method with bravery and certainty of attack, and a freshness of result that are unsurpassed."
-The Spectator, 1892
