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.
The Fighting Temeraire has always been regarded as one of the great Turner paintings. It was completed in 1839. Joseph Turner had a fascination with the powers of natured and ultimately turned this fascination into canvas. Later Turner paintings focused on the new abilities of the industrial revolution machines.
Turner paintings went on to later influence the Impressionist movement with their romanticism focusing particularly on color and lighting. Romanticism is sometimes viewed as a reaction to its more serious predecessor, the Neoclassical movement. Romantic paintings flirted with themes of man's self glorification, man's part in nature, divinity found in nature and emotion.
Among the most influential Baroque artwork in Northern Europe were the Peter Paul Rubens paintings. Included among this collection are paintings of violent, audience-gripping war scenes, critiquing European politics of the times. Other than painting, Peter also pursued a political career as a diplomat.
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.
Among the well known Peter Paul Rubens paintings are The Descent from the Cross, Wolf and Fox Hunt and The Garden of Love. They are depictions of subjects from a variety of sources, i.e., religion, history and mythology. They combined a knowledge of Renaissance classicism with lush brushwork and lively realism.
