Turner first visited Yorkshire in 1797 and returned there throughout his life, inspired by the spirituality he found in its glorious landscapes. He visited more than 70 places, sketching and painting views from many different angles. Joseph Mallord William Turner was one of Britain's greatest landscape painters, watercolorists, and printmakers. Renowned as 'the painter of light', Turner's work helped to place romantic landscape painting on a par with history painting in the 19th Century, as well as planting the seeds of Impressionism.
