Biography
Joseph Mallord William “J. M. W.” Turner (14
May 1775 – 19 December 1851) was a British
Romantic landscape painter, water-colourist, and
printmaker. He was baptised on 14 May 1775,
but his date of birth is unknown. It is generally
believed he was born between late April and early
May. He was born in Maiden Lane, Covent
Garden, London, England. His father, William
Turner, was a barber and wig maker. His mother,
Mary Marshall, came from a family of butchers.
A younger sister, Mary Ann, was born in
September 1778 but died aged four in August 1783.
In 1785, as a result of a "fit of illness" in the family the young Turner was sent to stay with his maternal uncle, Joseph Mallord William Marshall, in Brentford. There he first showed interest in the visual arts. He entered the Royal Academy of Art in 1789, when he was 14 years old, and was accepted into the academy a year later.

advised to continue painting by the architect Thomas Hardwick. His first water-

the Royal Academy summer exhibition of 1790 when Turner was 15.

Biography
Turner exhibited his first oil painting at the academy in 1796, 'Fishermen at Sea'.
Wilton said that the image: “Is a summary of all that had been said about the sea by
the artists of the eighteenth century” and shows strong influence by artists such
as Horace Vernet, Philip James de Loutherbourg, Peter Monamy and Francis
Swaine, who was admired for his moonlight marine paintings.

many times and painted many beautiful pictures like ‘Canal Venecia' or ‘Snow
Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps'.

Important support for Turner's work came from Walter Ramsden Fawkes,
of Farnley Hall, near Otley in Yorkshire, who became a close friend of the
artist. Turner first visited Otley in 1797, aged 22, when commissioned to
paint watercolours of the area. There, in Yorkshire, the artist drew a lot of great
new pictures such as ‘Grouse Shooting on Beamsley Beacon' and ‘Rainbow'.
