J. M. W. Turner Oil Painting Reproductions

From the Royal Academy to the Light of Venice

This collection brings the luminous world of J.M.W. Turner into your home with hand-painted oil reproductions on museum-grade linen. Turner was accepted as a student at the Royal Academy of Arts at age 14. ¹ By age 27, he was elected as a Royal Academician, a prestigious title for academy members. ¹ His early classical paintings from 1810 to 1830 were generally received with very positive reviews. ¹

His style changed forever after his first extended journey through Italy in 1819, which became central to the development of his mature style. ¹ Later, a trip to Venice in 1833 inspired important works like Venice, from the Porch of Madonna della Salute. ¹ You can see this glowing atmosphere in our reproduction of Venice with the Salute, which captures the shimmering water of the canals.

Turner's later landscapes became more abstract and were not well received at the time, but are considered his masterpieces today. ¹ His revolutionary use of color and experiments with light strongly influenced early impressionists Monet and Pissarro. ¹ Today, many of these famous paintings are displayed at the National Gallery and the Tate Britain museum in London. ¹

Bringing Turner's Masterpieces of Sea and Speed into Your Home

For a more dramatic wall, consider Rain Steam and Speed, The Great Western Railway. This masterpiece features a train hurtling across a railway bridge to convey the perception of speed. ¹ The painting depicts a steam engine crossing the Maidenhead Railway Bridge, looking east towards London. ² It is one of the most dynamic paintings by turner you can choose for a living room.

You can also explore other masters of the Romanticism style in our collection. This art movement focused on intense emotion and the wild beauty of nature.
