William Turner was apprenticed to John Varley and elected an associate of the Old Water-Colour Society at age eighteen.
In 1811 he settled in Oxford, where he lived for the rest of his life teaching drawing.
His landscapes are generally open, distant views with a smooth, meticulous technique and an almost supernatural stillness.
