1 agos 1809 anni - "Ploughing up Turnips, near Slough"

Descrizione:

Instead of the calm pastoral scene that Turner's mentor, George Stubbs, would have composed we have a depiction of the start of industrialization of farming in England. The figures in the foreground are not communing with nature, rather they look exhausted staring forward with blank stares.

Turner, J. William. Ploughing up Turnips, near Slough. 1809, Tate Gallery, London.
