Painting by J. M. W. Turner
Morning amongst the Coniston Fells, Cumberland, is a painting by J. M. W. Turner (23 April 1775 - 19 December 1851), painted c. 1798.[1] It depicts the Old Man of Coniston, Cumbria, England.[2]
In the catalogue of the Royal Academy from 1798, when verses were allowed for the first time, Turner included four lines from Paradise Lost, Book V:
—"Ye mists and exhalations that now rise
"From hill or streaming[sic] lake, dusky or gray,
"Till the sun paints your fleecy skirts with gold,
"In honour to the world's great Author, rise."[3]
