Joseph Mallord William Turner JMW Turner was born in London, England in 1775 (the same year George Washington was fighting the Revolutionary War in the United States). He was the son of a barber and wigmaker and started painting at a very young age. His dad would put his paintings in the window of the barbershop to sell! At the age of 15, Turner had his paintings shown at the Royal Academy of Art in England, which was a very big deal. He became a member of the Academy at 18 and later was “Professor of Perspective” there. Perspective is making a flat object look like it has depth (making 2-D look 3-D). His early works were traditional landscape paintings (paintings of outdoor scenery). Can you see how he used perspective here?

The awesome power of nature was a consistent theme in Turners works. He often focused on the violent power of the sea and painted many paintings of storms and shipwrecks.
