While these three great artists have been the subject of innumerable books and exhibitions, their interrelationship has never been fully explored. This book investigates this fascinating artistic triangle for the first time, suggesting dramatically new readings of their works. Whistler and Monet both acknowledged the profound influence of Turner, adopting and working on their own variations of his themes. Turner's meteorological and atmospheric effects gave rise to Whistler's Thames Nocturnes and both Turner and Whistler inspired Monet's revolutionary Impression, Sunrise, which gave name to the Impressionist movement.

Faced with a polluted industrial landscape, all three artists abandoned realism and sought out beauty in the modern urban environment. The artistic dialogue revealed by a close examination of their shared themes and variations sheds new light on the fertile relationship between British and French art and the evolution of the Impressionist and Symbolist landscape. Turner Whistler Monet will change the way we view some of the world's best-known masterpieces.
