Transept of Ewenny Priory, Glamorganshire. Canvas of William Turner.

Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775 - 1851) was an English painter and the leading representative of the Romanticism; he is one of the greatest English artists. Despite its fast way to work, he created unique works. His main source of inspiration were ships and water, but also dramatic scenes of the nature. Despite that Turner was a romantic painter, was interested in sublime philosophy; portraying the awesome power of nature over man. Fires, disasters, subsidence, natural phenomena are described by the painter. When he died at 76 years, he left to the British government more than 20,000 works. Turner is considered the precursor of Impressionism, because his works stimulated various artists of this style.
