‘Although William Turner became known as ‘Turner of Oxford’ to distinguish him from J.M.W. Turner, his work is very different from that of his better known namesake. While J.M.W. Turner presented the natural world in all its dramatic variety, Turner of Oxford captured its intense stillness.’1
Turner of Oxford exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1807 and was a member of the Society of Painters in Water Colours from 1808.
