The Blue Rigi, Sunrise, better known as The Blue Rigi, is an 1842 watercolour painting by British artist J. M. W. Turner. It has been described as "one of Turner's most perfect watercolours". It was acquired by the Tate Gallery in 2007 for £4.95m, matching the price achieved at auction in 2006, then the largest sum paid by the Tate for a single artwork. It is one of several variations of the Rigi mountain painted by Turner in 1842, after a visit to Switzerland the previous summer, including The Red Rigi, blushed by the evening sun, and The Dark Rigi. Many preparatory sketches are held by the Tate as part of the Turner Bequest.

Peace Burial At Sea were a Newcastle upon Tyne-based four-piece post-rock band which combined elements of post-hardcore with electronic textures, incorporating lyrical themes inspired by Soviet propaganda, horror films, science fiction, and the occult. Their name was inspired by the J. M. W. Turner painting of a similar name.

Fishermen at Sea, sometimes known as the Cholmeley Sea Piece, is an early oil painting by English artist J. M. W. Turner. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1796, and has been owned by the Tate Gallery since 1972.

Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth in Snow Storm

The painting depicts a paddle steamer caught in a snow storm. This marine painting is showing a Romantic era's painter's depiction of a snowstorm on water at its best, fully developing the bold, daring Romantic fantasy of Turner. Turner was unrivaled in depicting the natural world unmastered by mankind and exploring the effects of the elements and the battle of the forces of the nature. Turner worked first as a watercolorist, and he started to work much later with oils. He later applied the techniques he learned in watercolour onto oil paintings.

He entered the Royal Academy of Art schools in 1789, when he was only 14 years old, and was accepted into the academy a year later. Sir Joshua Reynolds, president of the Royal Academy at the time, chaired the panel that admitted him. At first Turner showed a keen interest in architecture but was advised to keep to painting by the architect Thomas Hardwick (junior). A watercolour of Turner's was accepted for the Summer Exhibition of 1790 after only one year's study.

Subtema

He used to first paint fast large areas with a paint loaded hard brush – whose use is documented by the many brush-hairs found stuck in his paintings. Later he would come back to retouch and glaze them, even with his fingers. His skies are often made with a palette knife, while highlights in the waves’ foam are applied with small brushstrokes of thick paint. In Turner’s painting technique, of the utterly importance were the “varnishing days” when a painting was prepared and “finished” for an exhibition with glazing, retouches and varnishing.

The artist died on December 19, 1851, in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, London, England. His will allocated generous sums to Hannah Danby and to programs to support what he called "decaying artists," although relatives successfully contested the funding of those programs through litigation.
