Biography:
Born in London, Joseph Mallord William Turner studied at the Royal Academy School in 1789 and had his first exhibition one year later. He originally sketched and produced pieces in watercolor and oils, working on one project for three years with Girtin. His paintings began to show Classical influence after a trip to Italy, and then advanced to a more impressionistic style towards the end of his career. Over the span of his life, Turner created over 20,000 watercolors, oil, and drawings. Turner is also renowned as one of the best British landscape painters and a predecessor of Modern British Art.
