Norham Castle, Sunrise 1 (1845) : Norham Castle is situated on the River Tweed on the border between England and Scotland. J.M.W. Turner first visited Norham in 1797 and over the years, he captured the castle in several well-known artworks. This painting was created in the mature stage of his career when his compositions became more fluid with mere suggestion of movement. This painting is considered one of Turner�s greatest paintings of light and atmosphere and his genius. It is the most abstract and most modern of Turner�s paintings. *** Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) was one of the most important English Romantic Painters of the 19th century. He is known for his expressive colourisations, imaginative landscapes and turbulent, often violent marine paintings. He was championed by the leading English art critic John Ruskin from 1840, and is today regarded as having elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting. Turner's imagination was sparked by shipwrecks, fires, and natural phenomena such as sunlight, storm, rain, and fog. He was fascinated by the violent power, turbulence and tidestorms of the sea. It's said that his last words before death were, 'The Sun is God!' *********** 'DECOR ADVENTURES' Brand Creative, Innovative, Decorative Wall Decor Frames with State-of-the-Art, fresh & new themes, ideas & features; Presenting a new range of wall decor frames made out of timeless & classic paintings by world famous artists.
