JMW Turner
(English, 1775-1851)

Although Jospeh Mallord William Turner learned much about light, atmosphere, and water reflections from the likes of Claude Lorrain and other Dutch marine painters, he pushed the envelope by expanding and egrandising the role of light, color, and color key in painting.
