William Turner, who is nicknamed the “painter of light” for his deft skill, is one of the most controversial British landscape painters. Thought his works seem quite beautiful to us today, they were shocking during his era.

The exhibition, called “Turner and Teachers,” appeared earlier in the Tate Britain in London, England, and the Grand Palais in Paris, France. The idea of this presentation is to show how the artists gathered interpret different pictorial traditions. To be shown are no fewer than 40 works and paintings, by both him and the “teachers” who influenced him through his life.

The fact that “Turner and teachers” was also presented in other cities does not mean that there will not be something new. To give people an interesting addition, the Prado Museum included Turner’s latest paintings such as the “Shipwreck of a Cargo Ship,” “Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps”, “Snowstorm,” “Moses writing the Book of Genesis” or “Evening of the Deluge.”

This is not the only thing that draws attention to the exhibition. Among the people that influenced him were very great artists such as Rembrandt, Watteau, Claude Lorraine, Rubens, Willem Van de Velde and many others.

This interesting exhibition will be on display at the Prado Museum from now until September 19th and if you want to visit and enjoy not only William Turner but also other great artists, rent apartments in Madrid and don´t let the opportunity pass you by.
