Turner (World Of Art)

Turner was a heir to a substantial tradition, deriving not only from the Continental schools, but from eighteenth-century English watercolor painting. By the end of his life he was anticipating the discoveries of the twentieth century. Few artists have achieved so wide a range of style in oil, watercolor, drawing and engraving - from the topographical drawings of his youth to the romantic landscapes and historical compositions of his maturity, and on to the astonishing productions of his final phase.
