在透纳之前，风景画只是作为宗教画的背景而存在，所以在画坛的地位并不高。而透纳的出现，了风景画在整个画坛的地位，使风景画和宗教画以及肖像画站在了同一个高度。

Then there was light: Turner's irridescent tableaux

In the work of Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) lies an impact akin to a sudden acquisition of sight. His lscapes seascapes scorch the eye with such ravishing light color, with such elemental force, it is as if the sun itself were gleaming out of the frame.

Appropriately known as “the painter of light”, Turner worked in print, watercolor, oils to transform lscape from serene contemplative scenes to pictures pulsating with life. He anchored his life work to the river Thames to the sea, but in the historical context of the Industrial Revolution, also integrated boats, trains, other markers of human activity, so as to juxtapose the thrust of civilisation against the forces of nature.

This book covers Turner's illustrious, wide-ranging repertoire to introduce an artist who combined a traditional genre with a radical modernism.
