I really like this painting, it hits my nerves because as you know, I'm absolutely keen on art. What really makes me feel astonished and makes this vibrating painting a masterpiece, it is how the artist blur the distance between him and viewer through a mixture of colours and shapes. Only an artist such as William Turner, who was an English Romantic painter, printmaker and watercolurist, could do such a wonderfull thing. Moreover, Turner was famous for his violent marine paintings like this. Nobody knew how to express a maritime big storm like him. His paintings mark the transition between the realistic landscape painting and the impressionism landscapes. Was a few years ago, when I had the opportunity to see a William Turner's exhibition, Never had I been so moved seeing artworks like that time. He could perfectly be compared with geniuses such as Caravaggio, Velázquez....
