What Turner Painted

Ian Warrell, a Tate Museum curator and authoritive on the works of J.M.W. Turner wrote this about the great painter. I really want to think more alike to this when I’m painting. Its good stuff.” Turner refashioned it’s (Venice) topography in his imagination, painting it in his unique way, so that it is sometimes almost unrecognizable. His is a disorienting vision of the city lurking within the actual place. Try to locate these images in Venice and you will find only stone and water. For what Turner created here was a profound fusion of reality with a deeply personal response and in this lies his achievement.”
