J.M.W.Turner: Fishermen at Sea, 1795 Tate Gallery. The Cholmeley Sea Piece
Turner's first oil painting, Fishermen at Sea 1796, Tate
Gallery. Was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1796. The depiction of the sea demonstrates a mastery of both
particulars and generalities and contrast between the turbulent waters of the Solvent and the calmer waters of the English
Channel beyond the Needles. The night effect was influenced by Joseph Wright of Derby's moonlight scenes. From this first attempt
at oil painting Turner goes on to paint his most important works, although he still extensively used watercolour,
especially on his sketching tours.
