Life in the UK Test 37
Which British painter is considered to be the artist who raised the profile of landscape painting?
Correct Answer: Joseph Turner
J.M.W. Turner (Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1775–1851) is considered the painter who raised landscape painting to the same level as historical painting in Britain. Before Turner, landscapes were considered a lesser genre — Turner's dramatic, light-filled canvases changed that perception entirely.
His most celebrated works include The Fighting Temeraire (1839), regularly voted the nation's favourite painting, and Rain, Steam and Speed (1844). Turner was a prolific and innovative artist who influenced the French Impressionists. He bequeathed most of his works to the nation; they are now housed in the Tate Britain gallery in London.
