Frequent Art Questions
I love this Thomas Moran piece. It reminds me of Turner's seascapes. Was this piece influenced by Turner or did Moran study with him at one point?
Yes this is a beautiful work! You have a great eye. Moran was influenced by Turner. He visited London and was impressed by Turner's works there.In fact, the studies for this paintings were most likely made in England, during a 1906 trip to Cornwall.Oh nice! Did he focus his works only on the sea or did he explore other subject matter as well?He produced a variety of landscapes, including many views of western American landscapes.
