Venice! JMW Turner! Well, no, but nearly. Following a trip to Venice, I was inspired to do this Turner-esque piece. "View of St Giorgio Maggiore, with Japanese tourists". Sharp eyes might also notice a commercial tug passing behind the boat, heading up the Giudecca to the port. If its not obvious, I bloody love Turner.

Joseph Mallord William Turner

The Artist's Bedroom in the Hotel Europa (Palazzo Giustinian), Venice, with the City Beyond 1840

This airy interior is apparently Turner’s own bedroom high up at the north-eastern corner of the Hotel Europa (the Palazzo Giustinian), where he stayed in 1840, as he had in 1833.

Jack Lindsay included this work among examples of Turner’s depictions both of bedrooms and of sexual imagery.

Title: Study of Sea and Sky, Isle of Wight Artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner (English, 1775-1851) Date: 1827 Genre: seascape Movement: Romanticism Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: 32.1 cm (12.6 in) high x 50.2 cm (19.7 in) wide Location: Tate Britain, London, England, UK

This work, which reflects Turner's lifelong interest in the sea, was completed during July-August 1827, when the artist was staying at East Cowes Castle on the Isle of Wight. Art historians speculate that he may have done some of his preparatory sketches on board a man-of-war anchored at Cowes Roads.

JMW Turner 'Snow Storm' 1842, 91x122cm on oil base canvas

A sublime and deeply Romantic work, evoking a terrifying yet mesmerising seascape. Within the chaos of the storm, a steam boat struggles forward through violent waves and spiralling winds, revealing not only the brutality of nature but also an unexpected and haunting beauty.

I remember first encountering this painting many years ago in an old art book. I was so overwhelmed by its power that I tore the page from the book just to take the image home with me. That moment became central to my admiration for Turner’s work.

What continues to move me about this painting is its reflection on humanity’s relationship with nature. We build machines and technologies believing we can shape reality to our will, yet Turner reminds us that human advancement remains fragile before the immense force of the natural world. No matter how sophisticated our inventions become, we still exist at the mercy of Mother Nature.
