J. M. W. Turner neglected and even shattered the accurate portrayal of details and motionless situations that preceding generations’ masters and contemporaries still attempted in pursuit of larger subjective effects.Many of William Turner’s paintings highlighted the force of nature in ways that had not hitherto been shown.
Turner was transferred to Margate in 1786, where he attended school and began painting the village and its environment. Throughout his career, he would depict the village and its surroundings and then use those sketches to produce finished works.
By 1805, his oil drawings and works of art illustrated his own unique methodology to landscapes and coastlines. By his late 30s, his art had become more ethereal and brilliant.
He drew often during his travels, and his gift included roughly 19,000 sketches from his trips. William Turner’s paintings began to become more flowing and ethereal, with fewer features.
The bulk of William Turner’s paintings are now housed in the Tate Britain, with the National Gallery owning a few of noteworthy works. Turner’s effect on artists has been felt for more than two hundred years.
