William Turner on the WWW






 
Turner, Joseph Mallord William (1775-1851), English landscape painter, who is renowned especially for his dynamic treatment of natural light effects in land and marine subjects. His work is of direct importance in the development of impressionism. Turner's artistic genius reached its culmination during the years 1835-45. In such works as Snow Storm: Steam Boat Off a Harbor's Mouth, Peace-Burial at Sea, and Rain, Steam, and Speed, he achieved a vibrant sense of force by presenting objects as indistinct masses within a glowing haze of color. Some of the forces represented are the strength of the sea and the rhythm of rain. Turner died in London on December 19, 1851.
