Turner was born near Covent Garden in London and entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1789. His earliest works form part of the 18th-century topographical tradition. He was soon inspired by 17th-century Dutch artists such as Willem van der Velde, and by the Italianate landscapes of Claude and Richard Wilson.
He exhibited watercolours at the Royal Academy from 1790, and oils from 1796. In 1840 he met the critic John Ruskin, who became the great champion of his work.
Turner became interested in contemporary technology, as can be seen from 'The Fighting Temeraire' and 'Rain, Steam and Speed'. At the time his free, expressive treatment of these subjects was criticised, but it is now widely appreciated.
Turner bequeathed much of his work to the nation. The great majority of the paintings are now at Tate Britain.

Natural oily flammable liquid consisting mainly of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and some other chemical compounds. The color of the oil is usually solid black. Has a specific smell.Oil is found together with gaseous hydrocarbons at depths of tens of meters to 5-6 km. the Density of oil, like other hydrocarbons, is strongly dependent on temperature and pressure. It contains a large number of different organic substances and therefore is characterized not by boiling, and an initial boiling point of liquids.
