  • Thank you for your warm comment. I entered immediately on your site and I'm marveled. Turner is one of my favorite great masters. There are some paintings of him at Washington DC National Gallery; I liked his Approach to Venice the most. There was also a Turner Show last year or so and I had this way the opportunity to see much more. I hadn't known about the amazing quality of his watercolors till I visited the show.

    I published 2 messages on the art of Turner on my blog:
