Romanticism appeals to many of us because of its ability to evoke emotion. The name Romanticism comes from the renewed interest in medieval tales called romance. Nature worship was also a characteristic of Romanticism. It was said that J.M.W. Turner “painted nature in the raw”.
Definitely a Romanticist, Turner began painting at a young age. He began selling his work at the age of 12 and had an exhibition at the Royal Academy at the age of 15. Although Turner did not consider himself an abstract painter, his later paintings became more and more abstract.
One of the largest collections of Turner’s work can be found at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. An exhibition catalog of Turner’s work at the museum along with other art books and magazines can be found at Nella’s Books and Collections.
