William Turner Biography

(1775-1851)

One of the finest landscape painting artist, Turner work was exhibited when the painter was still a teenager. His entire life was devoted to his art. Unlike many artists of his era, Joseph Mallord William Turner was successful throughout his career.

The painter was born in London, England, on April 23, 1775. His father was a barber. His mother died when Turner was very young. The boy received little schooling. His father taught him how to read, but this was the extent of his education except for the study of art. By the age of 13 William Turner was making drawings at home and exhibiting them in his father's shop window for sale.

Turner was 15 years old when the artist received a rare honor--one of Turner paintings was exhibited at the Royal Academy. By the time the painter was 18 he had his own studio. Before he was 20 print sellers were eagerly buying his drawings for reproduction.

He quickly achieved a fine reputation and was elected an associate of the Royal Academy. In 1802, when William Turner was only 27, Turner became a full member. He then began traveling widely in Europe.

Venice was the inspiration of some of finest Turner oil paintings. Wherever he visited he studied the effects of sea and sky in every kind of weather. His early training had been as a topographic draftsman. With the years, however, Joseph Mallord William Turner developed a painting technique all his own. Instead of merely recording factually what he saw, Turner translated scenes into a light-filled expression of his own romantic feelings.

As he grew older Turner became an eccentric. Except for his father, with whom he lived for 30 years, he had no close friends. Joseph Mallord allowed no one to watch him while he painted. Turner gave up attending the meetings of the academy. None of his acquaintances saw him for months at a time. Turner continued to travel but always alone. The painter still held exhibitions, but he usually refused to sell Turner reproductions. When William Turner was persuaded to sell one, he was dejected for days.

In 1850 he exhibited for the last time. One day Turner disappeared from his house. His housekeeper, after a search of many months, found him hiding in a house in Chelsea. the artist had been ill for a long time. He died the following day--Dec. 19, 1851.

Turner left a large fortune that he hoped would be used to support what he called "decaying artists." Collection of William Turner paintings was bequeathed to his country. At his request the painter was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral.

Although known for his oils, Turner is regarded as one of the founders of English watercolor landscape painting. Some of most famous Turner paintings are Calais Pier, Dido Building Carthage, Rain, Steam and Speed, Burial at Sea, and The Grand Canal, Venice.
