Joseph Mallord William Turner RA known as J. M. W. Turner and contemporarily as William Turner, was an English Romantic painter, printmaker and watercolourist, known for his expressive colourisation, imaginative landscapes and turbulent, often violent marine paintings.

Turner was born in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, London, to a modest lower middle-class family. Intensely private, eccentric and reclusive, Turner was a controversial figure throughout his career. He left behind over 2,000 paintings and 19,000 drawings and sketches. He had been championed by the leading English art critic John Ruskin from 1840, and is today regarded as having elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivaling history painting.

About Storm At The Mouth Of The Grand Canal, Venice, C. 1840

From the right foreground, a gondolier guides his craft towards the shore as the sky darkens and a storm threatens to engulf the city. The location and specific architectural features are quite recognizable, but the treatment is impressionistic to an extreme. It’s as if La Serenissima, the city miraculously built on the water, is being reclaimed by the elements. His sensitivity to atmospheric effects was acute to the point of obsession, and the immediacy of watercolor suited him to perfection. The famous story that he had himself tied to the mast of a ship to more accurately capture the experience of a storm is probably apocryphal, but he certainly went to considerable lengths to record appearances accurately.
