Description. The sky is covered with heavy clouds of various shades of grey and white, indicating the arrival of a storm or discomfort. The low sun on the horizon creates subtle reflections on the clouds and illuminates the scene in warm tones. Under the sky is an open landscape with dynamic brushstrokes depicting the movement of grass and wind. There is a figure on horseback in a field that appears to be on the move, perhaps trying to get to safety from an approaching storm.

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.
