idea of survival and even in our days they look very prophetic.
Turner was the master of the air and the wind, of the rain and sunshine, of horizon, of ships and sea. He dissolved the forms of his Landscape in the play of Light and shade, he anticipated the work of French impressionist in painting.
Turners understanding and ability to paint light was far ahead of his time.
He began to paint light and movement in a new and startling way. And critics didnt accustom to his new way of looking at the nature and it was his real novelty into painting. They thought that he had gone mad. His subject was nature and light.
On the board we can see his well-known canvases :
1. " The Whaleboat"- before 1845
2. "Rain, steam and speed"- in1844
3. "Wallons bridges- in 1806
And Id like to describe his marine painting "The Whaleboat". Its a great advance in Turners style, especially in the matter of colour. We can observe the fight between the boat and the whale. We can feel the strength and alarm of the see, the force of wind and waves. We can feel the surge of the oceans waves. And almost hear the shrill scream of the wind. The whales fate is already decided. The raged waves of the ocean reflect the inner condition of the whale.
At the end of his life Turner refused to exhibit his pictures for fear that people would think he was mad. And now his collection of paintings in the National and the Tate Galleries.
His famous pictures were exhibited at the Royal Academy periodically.
