Michael Fish on Turner
'Turner is one of the greatest British Artists of all times. His paintings have a special significance for me, not least of all for his depiction of the weather but also for the highly sentimental View of Richmond Hill and bridge, a view which is still virtually the same today.
Some of his earlier works depicted lovely vivid sunrises, sunsets, rainbows and cloud formations.
I do feel, however, that some of his later ones 'went off' and weren't really meteorologically correct, often being strangely wishy-washy.'
