Turner’s Modern World: One of Britain’s greatest artists, J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851) lived and worked at the peak of the industrial revolution, when steam replaced sail, machine power replaced manpower, and wars, political unrest, and social reforms transformed society. Turner’s Modern World explores how this artist, more than any of his contemporaries, embraced these changes and developed an innovative painting style to better capture the new world.
