Turner, J.M.W.
(1775–1851) one of the greatest British painters, known for his pictures of the countryside, the sea, and the sky, in which he uses colour and light to show the force of the wind and sea, as in his famous painting The Fighting Téméraire. There is a special part of Tate Britain in London where many of his paintings can be seen.
