William Turner was an English painter whose work is assigned to the epoch of Romanticism. Born in 1775, he acquired his own artistic skills while still a child. Because of his extraordinary talent, he learned from the age of 14, a grant from the British Royal Academy and 1799 finally became a member of the same.
Turner received inspiration for his work in particular through traveling, both within his own home country and on the European mainland. Turners repertoire included mainly watercolors and oil paintings.
Frequent subjects of his works are water and ship scenes. Worth mentioning here were
The Fighting Temeraire (1838) or The Slave Ship (1840). Especially Turner's later works are characterized by a characteristic play of light.
In the call to have been the most respected visual artist of his era, William Turner died at the age of 76 in 1851 in London.
