Joseph Mallord William Turner, A Stormy Sky ?1840-5
Display caption
Throughout his career Turner made endless quick notes based on his observations of the sky. Most of these were in pencil, but he often explored the progress of a particular effect through a series of watercolour studies, evidently moving rapidly from sheet to sheet in an attempt to capture the sense of a transitory impression.
