JMW Turner
Top 5 in Top 15 Greatest Painters Of All Time
Joseph Mallord William Turner RA (23 April 1775 to 19 December 1851) also known as William Turner, was an English Romantic painter, printmaker, and watercolorist. He's recognized for his vibrant colorizations, innovative landscapes, and tumultuous, often violent sea paintings.
JMW Turner is regarded as a predecessor of modern art. Turner began striving for realism in his work, which was unheard of at the time, after coming from traditional Neo-classical painting. He experimented with light, color, and brushwork in hundreds of watercolors and oil paintings. He even worked on his oil paintings outside, which influenced the Impressionists later on. More than 550 oil paintings, 2,000 watercolors, and 30,000 works on paper were among his works.
