2. Joseph Mallord William Turner
(23 April 1775 – 19 December 1851)
was an English Romantic landscape
painter, watercolourist and
printmaker, whose style can be said to
have laid the foundation for
Impressionism. Although Turner was
considered a controversial figure in his
day, he is now regarded as the artist
who elevated landscape painting to an
eminence rivalling history painting.

3. His work was exhibited
when he was still a
teenager. His entire life
was devoted to his art.
Unlike many artists of
his era, he was
successful throughout his
career.

4. JMW Turner died on December
19, 1851, and at his own request he was
buried in St. Paul's Cathedral.
Turner's will, which was under litigation for
many years, left more than 19,000
watercolors, drawings, and oils to the British
nation. Most of these works are in the
National Gallery and the Tate
Gallery, London. Many of Turner's oils
have deteriorated badly.
