1775–1851
Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851) was an English painter associated with the Romantic movement. He began as an architectural draughtsman and watercolourist, later gaining recognition for his oil paintings, which featured expressive light, atmosphere, and bold colour. Accepted into the Royal Academy of Arts at 14, he achieved early fame and financial success, becoming a Royal Academician at 27. Turner produced around 550 oil paintings and over 2,000 watercolours, and upon his death, left a significant collection to the nation, with key works now held in London museums.
