Ruskin reported that Hunt had ‘frequent opportunities of conversing with Turner’ around 1840, and it is possible that Turner was interested in Hunt’s earlier looser
style of ‘wet on wet’ washes. The later oils by Turner displayed here share a simplicity in style and subject matter with these early shore scenes by Hunt.
