Description

Joseph Mallord William Turner was English painter; one of the greatest and most original of all landscape painters. Turner was considered a controversial figure in his day; but is now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting. Although renowned for his oil paintings; Turner is also one of the greatest masters of British watercolor landscape painting. He is commonly known as "the painter of light" and his work is regarded as a Romantic preface to Impressionism.
