Turner, like German artist Caspar David Friedrich , had an almost religious attitude toward nature. Notice now how the light is not in the center of the painting. The reason behind it is to help keep the composition unbalanced enough to support the sense of movement Turner was trying to achieve through his brush work. I work as a graphic designer, doing CD presentations, Web design, logos, print ads. As for art history, I'm a reader, traveler and museum visitor.
