| | In 1729 Richard went to London "to indulge his prevailing love for the arts of design," and there he trained under an obscure portrait painter, Thomas Wright. | | | Family connections with the aristocracy helped Wilson to get portrait commissions, including one from the royal family, but his reputation among artists was chiefly for topographical landscapes imbued with a strong feeling for open-air naturalism. | | | For six years Wilson made an intensive study of the Italian landscape, especially scenes with classical associations, working up his open-air sketches into studio pictures, strongly influenced in his handling of light and air by the Dutch masters and in his composition by Gaspard Dughet, Nicolas Poussin, and Claude Lorrain. |

| | It was a highly popular and influential type of art, being adapted to British scenery, for example, by the 18th-century painter Richard Wilson, the first major British artist to specialize in landscape. | | | A similar spirit, and also a patriotic desire to glorify their country, is seen in the work of several American painters of the 19th century, such as the members of the Hudson River School and Rocky Mountain School. | | | The ideal landscape was invented by Annibale Carracci in the first decade of the 17th century and its most famous exponents were Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin, French painters working in Rome. |

| | Wilson was born in Penegoes, near Machynlleth, Montgomeryshire, between 1712 and 1714, the third son of the seven children of John Wilson and Alice Wynne. | | | Wilson arrived back in England in 1757 or 1758 and established himself on the Great Piazza, Covent Garden; he did not resume portraiture but, according to his apprentice William Hodges, "soon attained the highest reputation" in what was in the eighteenth century the less remunerative field of landscape painting. | | | Wilson traveled to Italy in 1750 and was befriended in Venice by the British consul, Joseph Smith, and by Francesco Zuccarelli, who encouraged his propensity for landscape painting; after a year or so he went to Rome with William Lock, a young man on the Grand Tour, arriving there in January 1752. |

| | The influence of Cozens and of the Welsh landscape painter Richard Wilson helped broaden Turner's outlook and revealed to him a more poetic and imaginative approach to landscape, which he would pursue to the end of his career with ever-increasing brilliance. | | | Turner's immense reputation in the second half of the 19th century was in fact due largely to the championship of the influential English art critic John Ruskin, who published the first part of Modern Painters in 1843 to prove Turner's superiority to all previous landscape painters and to extol his accurate rendering of natural appearance. | | | Turner's many seapieces, in which he surpasses the Dutch 17th-century marine painters, reveal his methodical attempt to master every landscape style he admired and the ease with which he accomplished this. |
