Among the most original European landscapes and seascapes were the Turner paintings. They showed mastery in British watercolour landscape painting, commonly referred to as the painting of light. Joseph Turner studied at the Royal Academy schools starting at the age of 14. Since then, he has exhibited at the Academy nearly every year for the rest of his existence.
The Fighting Temeraire has always been regarded as one of the great Turner paintings. It was completed in 1839. Joseph Turner had a fascination with the powers of natured and ultimately turned this fascination into canvas. Later Turner paintings focused on the new abilities of the industrial revolution machines.
Turner paintings went on to later influence the Impressionist movement with their romanticism focusing particularly on color and lighting. Romanticism is sometimes viewed as a reaction to its more serious predecessor, the Neoclassical movement. Romantic paintings flirted with themes of man's self glorification, man's part in nature, divinity found in nature and emotion.
When it comes to Baroque artwork in Northern Europe, none could be more influential than Peter Paul Rubens paintings. Peter also worked as a Spanish diplomat in pursuit of his political interests. He even brokered a treaty between Spain and England in the late 1620s.
Peter married twice, first to Isabella Brant and then to Helene Fourment. Both of his wives were frequent subjects and inspirations of the Peter Paul Rubens paintings. It is unfortunate that only one surviving ceiling painting by Peter still remains in its original setting at the Banqueting House in London.
Among the well known Peter Paul Rubens paintings are The Descent from the Cross, Wolf and Fox Hunt and The Garden of Love. They are depictions of subjects from a variety of sources, i.e., religion, history and mythology. They combined a knowledge of Renaissance classicism with lush brushwork and lively realism.
