About Turner & our reproductions
The life
Turner's life was bound to London's Royal Academy: a full member by twenty-seven, he exhibited annually, served on its Council and hanging committee, and lectured on landscape painting for seventeen years. On varnishing days he became a legend, arriving with all the brightest pigments he could lay his hands on and reworking his canvases until they literally blazed with colour.
Working at the heart of the Romantic movement, Turner pushed his luminous landscapes far beyond the conventional academic style of his era — and the Impressionists followed his lead. Monet notably took Turner's example when painting Rouen Cathedral, having seen one of his gouache sketches in London.
Our reproductions
Every Turner reproduction at Direct Art Australia is 100% hand-painted in oils on artist canvas by professional artists — never a print. His luminous mists and molten skies are built up in thin, glowing glazes of colour, layer over patient layer. You approve photographs of your painting before it ships, and delivery is free Australia-wide.
