turner

joseph turner

london

covent garden 1775-1851 chelsea




romanticism




a child prodigy turner born

first exhibition where heads were shorn

father owned a barbers shop

the display was not a flop




soon to be the royal academy

passing all tests with quality

character-a gruff reclusive one

personal inquiries he would shun




quote-the sun is god
