Welcome to the Joseph William Turner Fanlisting ...
Joseph Mallord William Turner (born in London on April 23, 1775 , died December 19, 1851) was an English Romantic landscape artist, whose style can be said to have laid the foundation for Impressionism ...
The Theory of Light
Turner's talent was recognized early in his life, becoming a full art academician at the age of 23. Financial independence allowed Turner to innovate and create paintings that astonished many.
William Turner is a romantic painter interested in the Sublime; he portrays the awesome, untamed power of Nature towards mankind. The subject of shipwrecks, fires or natural catastrophes as well as natural phenomena (like sunlight, storm, rain, fog) is a statement of the smallness of mankind towards Nature. In his paintings humans are depicted as mere peons of Nature. Like most Romanticists, Nature (landscape) is a reflection of the own´s soul or mood. He focused on the violent power of the sea, as seen in Dawn after the Wreck (1840) and The Slave Ship (1840)
Turner perfected his technique to develop the theme on the destructive power of nature through his years. His distinctive style of painting, in which he used watercolor technique with oil paints, created lightness, fluency, and disappearing atmospheric effects.
In his late years, William Turner used oils even less, and turned to almost pure light with shimmering color. Examples of his later style can be seen in Rain, Steam and Speed - The Great Western Railway, where the objects are barely recognizable.
