Turner's place in British art, as in the development of Romantic landscape, cannot be overstated. Precocious in youth, challenging and surpassing the artists of his time, elected a member of the Royal Academy at the earliest possible moment, he went on to transform his style so radically as to provide an example for several future generations of artists. His development was, however, based on a firm appreciation of the art of his predecessors, and it was this grounding in the work of the Old Masters that sustained and gave structure to even his most revolutionary work for the rest of his career.
