	These two well-known, pretty romantic paintings (how could I miss them, especially Fishermen at Sea?), on the contrary, may be posted together as they are rather similar in both theme and atmosphere. Yet put to choose between the two, I would of course go for the former. William Turner - Fishermen at Sea (oil on canvas, 1796) William Turner - Moonlight (oil on canvas, exhibited 1797) Alternative image (in the Art Renewal Center website): William Turner - Moonlight (oil on canvas, exhibited 1797)

	According to the Tate Gallery, which treasures it, the full name of this most romantic master work by William Turner is 'Buttermere Lake, with Part of Cromackwater, Cumberland, a Shower'. It was based on a sketchbook study worked up in watercolour to show the stormy conditions he presumably witnessed in a tour of the region the previous year. "This was his cue for the mood of this dramatic painting, enlivened by the rainbow which would become a frequent motif. Turner is making a consciously 'Sublime' statement, intended to evoke the viewer’s awe at the grandeur of Nature." William Turner - Buttermere Lake: A Shower (oil on canvas, c.1798)

	Turner's mood would seem to have shifted to a somewhat less dramatic one with this extraordinary master work, a watercolor! It is now 1806 and he is painting wonderful pieces of such extraordinary sceneries as the one we are enjoying here... more than two hundred years later. William Turner - The Lake of Thun, Switzerland (watercolor on paper, 1806)

	Miguel, I guess that this work is, as you say, early. This artist must have already known it's merits well in 1807 to have performed a style copy, and very well too. *Sir Augustus Wall Callcott,* Sheerness and the Isle of Sheppey (after J.M.W. Turner) c.1807-8

	Although the works shown so far are wonderful I think that the atmosphere in this is stunningly outstanding. The sky and moon are quite breathtaking. William Turner - Fishermen at Sea (oil on canvas, 1796)
