JMW Turner Rain Steam and Speed Throw Pillow

JMW Turner Rain Steam and Speed throw pillow. Oil on canvas from 1844. English painter J.M.W. Turner was one of the great landscape painters of the nineteenth century. A master of light, his works captured nature while incorporating the burgeoning technology of the day. Rain, Steam and Spead or The Great Western Railway chronicles a critical moment in British history as the rail line made transport and travel possible in ways never before imagined. The work is renowned for its violent use of light and impressionistic qualities a full generation before the rise of French Impressionism. A beautiful gift for fans of JMW Turner, Train Paintings, Railroad History, and English art.
