Conway (Castle)

The painting shows an ancient castle located on a high rock by the sea coast. The waves crashing on the shore are depicted very dynamically, which adds drama to the scene. The sky is partly cloudy, indicating that a storm may be approaching. A tree bending in the wind and a human figure can be seen to the left of the castle. A small ship floats on the sea and a larger sailboat can be seen in the distance.

Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851). English Romantic landscape painter. His style laid the foundations for Impressionism. In his time, he was considered a controversial artist, today, he is recognized for his approach to landscape painting. He worked with light (he used to be known as the painter of light). He also masterfully painted with watercolours. An example of his refined style, which influenced the French impressionists, is his Rain, Steam, Speed, in which he hinted at the form objects and plot of the painting using only the mixing of colours. A very similar work is also Fighting Temeraire (a battleship that rose to fame in the Battle of Trafalgar) from 1839, in which the famous ship pulls into the steamer docks for dismantling.
