JMW Turner was one of the greatest English artists.His use of strong white pigment underlaying his paintings are what gives them a sort of glowing effect.
Hisbest known and a treasure of England is "The Fighting Temeraire Towed To Her Last Berth".

Turner did a painting of the castle in my home town. As did Canaletto.
Both so different but magnificent in their own way.
