Born in London, England, Joseph Turner, known commonly as J.M.W.
Turner, became one of the 19th centuries most famous painters in
England and Europe of landscapes, skyscapes and seascapes. He is
regarded as one of the promulgators of English watercolor landscape
painting, but he also painted in oil. Unique to him was a special
treatment of light, which conveyed atmosphere, mood, and romantic
feelings.
