John Cother Webb's mezzotint "After Joseph Mallord William Turner, 'View of Venice-Regulus'" is a remarkable example of 19th-century printmaking that pays homage to the illustrious British painter J.M.W. Turner. Measuring 42cm by 53cm, this signed and framed piece captures the essence of Turner's original work, which is celebrated for its atmospheric and luminous qualities. Turner's "View of Venice" is a part of his extensive oeuvre that often depicted the interplay of light and water, particularly in the city of Venice, which he visited multiple times and found endlessly inspiring.

Webb, a master mezzotint engraver, meticulously translated Turner's painting into a print, a process that involves creating images on a metal plate by etching and then using a rocker to create a textured surface. This technique is particularly suited to capturing the tonal subtleties and dramatic contrasts that are hallmarks of Turner's style. The mezzotint medium allows for a rich, velvety finish that can convey the depth and complexity of Turner's vision, from the shimmering reflections on the water to the intricate architectural details of Venice.

The title "Regulus" refers to the mythological figure of Regulus, a Roman general who was captured and tortured by the Carthaginians. While the connection between this figure and the view of Venice may not be immediately apparent, it is possible that Turner intended to evoke themes of resilience and endurance, qualities that are often associated with the city of Venice itself. The framing of the mezzotint adds an additional layer of elegance, making it a distinguished piece suitable for both private collections and public exhibitions.

John Cother Webb's dedication to preserving and celebrating Turner's legacy through his mezzotints has ensured that these works remain accessible to a broader audience. His "View of Venice-Regulus" stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Turner's art and the skill of mezzotint engravers in capturing the spirit of the original paintings.
