"A lot of people look at Turner as one of the forerunners of modernstic painting. But in his case it is quite the opposite. What he searched for was the exaggerated dramaturgy.Technically he is an electrician that is influenced from Rembrandts painting technique. We see it in the representation of the light, the thick impesto look in the light of the picture, or in the thin, fragile black , and in dirt pits in the reflextion from the boats.."
