Paintings Of Turner And Peter Paul Rubens

By Darren Hartley


Turner paintings were widely known to be among the most original landscapes and seascapes in Europe. They were influenced by Claude Lorrain, whose paintings were obsessively studied by Joseph Turner. Joseph extensively travelled all over Europe in his search for new scenes to paint.

One of the great seascape Turner paintings was The Fighting Temeraire, done in 1839. A subsequent 1844 painting, Rain, Steam and Speed, was to influence the Impressionist painters, 30 years from when it was originally exhibited. Joseph Turner was often described as the greatest landscape painter of the 19th century.

Romanticism was the main feature of Turner paintings that eventually mark their influence on Impressionist painters. Romanticism has its roots on Neoclassicism which was generally associated with the history genre. The subject matter of Turner paintings also accounted for recording history. However, their style was different from what was seen before. Color was used to intensify emotion in the portrayal of passing events.

Peter Paul Rubens paintings were the most influential Baroque artwork in Northern Europe. They were sensual paintings of full-bodied women which gave rise to the term Rubenesque. Peter painted many extravagant portraits of European royalty. He was called a prince of painters and a painter of princes by critics.

The two wives of Peter, Isabella Brant and Helene Fourment, figured prominently as both subjects and inspirations in many Peter Paul Rubens paintings. One of the last paintings seen by King Charles I, before his ultimate execution outside the front door of the Banqueting House in London was Peter's only surviving ceiling painting.

Peter Paul Rubens paintings that are world renowned include The Descent from the Cross, Wolf and Fox Hunt, Peace and War, Self-Portrait with Helena and Peter Paul and The Garden of Love. Peter's success is attributable to his skill in arranging complex groupings of figures in a composition, his ability to work on a large scale, his ease at depicting diverse subjects and his personal eloquence and charm.
