Selected sections from Great Artworks - J M W Turner - 1775-1851 - Shields, on the River Tyne - 1823 - If the illustration of men at work is stark Realism then it must be that the moon on the water is pure Impressionism; confirming Turner as "The Grandfather of Impressionism."

19世紀の英国画家だけど現代美術要素もあるターナー、ほんと超良いんだよなあ。ターナーの生涯(1775-1851年)の半分、イギリスは何かしらの戦争中だったので、絵のテーマにバトル系が多いけど、ターナーって洪水や火災や難破や煙を絵に描くのが単に好きだったのでは、というフェチ要素を感じる。
