lykaina:Fishing Boats Bringing a Disabled Ship into Port RuysdaelJ.M.W TurnerOil on canvasThe life of English painter Joseph Mallord William Turner, known as “the painter of light”, has been entirely devoted to his art.Endowed with a robust and rough constitution, he was an insatiable traveller, untiringly moving around Europe, particularly in Italy, France, Germany and Switzerland. In any place, acting as a photojournalist, he made drawings or watercolors of all kinds of landscapes, sites and monuments. Thus at his death, he will bequeath to his country over 20000 works on paper.Whereas he had been at his beginnings a great admirer of Old Masters, especially French historical landscape painter Claude Gelée (1600-1682 named le Lorrain) and Nicolas Poussin, his work in a romantic style will evolve towards a new daring pictorial Pre-Impressionist representation, in which the artist dissolves details of painted subjects into colored atmospheres.
