Joseph Mallord William Turner’s painting The Storm exemplifies his mastery of turbulent marine scenes and expressive colouring. As a renowned Romanticism artist, Turner captured the raw power of nature, portraying a violent, tumultuous sea under a swirling, ominous sky. His innovative use of light and colour laid the groundwork for later movements like Impressionism and Abstract Art.
