Moments of Turner
As we can see throughout his career, Turner had a predilection for the landscape and the effects of light and the different atmospheric conditions. (Something that, as we can imagine, had a huge influence on the Impressionists.)
His landscapes are romantic; the artist depicts and idealizes nature’s unparalleled power over humans. Thus, he has become the romantic landscape painter par excellence.
Which landscapes influenced him the most? He admired Claude Lorrain, a seventeenth-century painter whose "ideal" landscapes made him probably the most influential landscape painter in the history of art.
