J.M.W Turner (1775-1851)

Here's another example of Turner's work.  Most of the paintings on display were watercolors and are part of the "Turner Bequest" left to Great Britain after the artist's death in 1851.  The entire collection consists of 30,000 works on paper, 300 oil paintings and 280 sketchbooks, maintained and conserved at Tate Britain.  You can read more about the exhibit here.
