Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) is arguably one of the greatest landscape artists of all time, and perhaps the most well-known British artist ever. His ability in capturing the effects of colour and light gave rise to his nickname "The Painter of Light," and his approach to landscape art elevated the genre to rival history painting. Turner accurately captured architectural and natural details in his early works, but as he aged, his work became more fluid with mere suggestion of movement. Turner's paintings were considered to be ahead of his time and were forerunners for the Impressionism movement. Below you can enjoy 10 of his most famous paintings.
