Summary: Turner lived in the age of steam, iron foundries and gleaming new railways, of revolutions, wars, rotten boroughs and outrageous taxes is unarguably apparent from the pictures themselves. Turner was one the first English artists to paint a railway train, hurtling through a vortex of steam and rain. He painted demobbed soldiers, scattered like toys at the bottom of his canvases; and Napoleon on Elba as an absurd peg doll planted in an otherwise stupendous twilight, the sunset effects doubled in watery reflections beneath.
