Im Leben von Joseph Mallord William Turner
Das ganze Leben1796
Oil debut: “Fishermen at Sea”
At 21 he exhibited at the Academy the dramatic moonlit seascape “Fishermen at Sea”: it drew widespread acclaim from critics and established his reputation as a promising marine painter.
1798
The large watercolours of North Wales
The large watercolour views he made in North Wales in 1798, such as his depiction of Caernarvon Castle, are counted among the great landscapes of European art; by the age of 25, according to Wilson, he had developed watercolour into a new medium capable of much the same expressive power as oils.
October 1798
Sixty commissions for watercolours
He boasted to his friend Joseph Farington that he had 60 commissions for watercolours from different customers and was earning more money than he could spend; on his sketching excursions he was always on the lookout for saleable subjects.
