He was one of the leading British artists of his
time, who over the six decades of his career
changed the public regard for landscape and
watercolor painting. Though he received little
formal education, Turner was a prodigiously
talented child. He eventually enrolled in the
Royal Academy of Art Schools and exhibited his
first watercolor there at the age of 15. He also
studied in the studio of the architectural
draftsman and topographer Thomas Malton.

Turner made frequent trips throughout
the Continent, especially Germany,
Switzerland and Italy , revelling in
mountain landscapes, gorgeous cities,
and the most extreme aspects of storms,
fires and sunsets.

Once he even had himself tied to a
mast during a storm at sea so that he
could experience the full force of
wind, waves and clouds swirling
about him.

Turner placed human beings in
many of his paintings to indicate his
affection for humanity on the one
hand, but its vulnerability and
vulgarity amid the 'sublime' nature
of the world on the other.

pupils.

Turner often painted historical
subjects, involving violence as well
as shipwrecks and conflagrations,
in which individual figures
appear as scarcely more then
spots in a seething tide of
humanity.

Joseph Turner was the first one to
abandon pale brown in favour of white,
against which his brilliant colour effects
could sing with perfect clarity.

The artist really enjoyed and painted
the pure movement of masses of colour
– a kind of colour music, strikingly
relevant to Abstract Expressionism of
the 1950s.

"the painter of light” and his work is

incomparable richness of
tints and glow of light.

Turner late pictures are a sensational conclusion
to his investigations about the representation of
light and atmospheric effects in painting, which
were developed during his time as professor at
the Royal Academy, where Turner learned
Newton and Goethe's theories about light and
colour.
