Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851) was a central figure in the romantic movement and is considered one of the greatest landscape painters of Western art.
For a long time admiring its ingenuity, originality and passion, Turner sought to convey a sense of fear caused by the immensity and power of nature - its tangible atmosphere, pulsating energy, the drama of storms and calamities and the transcendental effect of pure light.
