Joseph Mallord William Turner

1775–1851

Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851) était un peintre anglais associé au mouvement Romantique. Il a commencé comme dessinateur architectural et aquarelliste, gagnant plus tard en reconnaissance pour ses peintures à l'huile, qui mettaient en avant une lumière expressive, une atmosphère et des couleurs audacieuses. Accepté à la Royal Academy of Arts à 14 ans, il a atteint une célébrité précoce et un succès financier, devenant académicien royal à 27 ans. Turner a produit environ 550 peintures à l'huile et plus de 2 000 aquarelles, et à sa mort, il a laissé une collection significative à la nation, avec des œuvres clés maintenant conservées dans des musées de Londres.
