Turner, John Mallord William (1775-1851). One of the finest landscape artists was J.M.W. Turner, whose work was exhibited when he was still a teenager.
His entire life was devoted to his art. Unlike many artists of his era, he was successful throughout his career. Joseph Mallord William Turner was born in London, England, on April 23, 1775. His father was a barber. His mother died when he was very young. The boy received little schooling. His father taught him how to read, but this was the extent of his education except for the study of art. By the age of 13 he was making drawings at home and exhibiting them in his father's shop window for sale.
Turner was 15 years old when he received a rare honor--one of his paintings was exhibited at the Royal Academy. By the time he was 18 he had his own studio. Before he was 20 print sellers were eagerly buying his drawings for reproduction. He quickly achieved a fine reputation and was elected an associate of the Royal Academy.
In 1802, when he was only 27, Turner became a full member. He then began traveling widely in Europe. Venice was the inspiration of some of Turner's finest work. Wherever he visited he studied the effects of sea and sky in every kind of weather.
His early training had been as a topographic draughtsman. With the years, however, he developed a painting technique all his own.
Instead of merely recording factually what he saw, Turner translated scenes into a light-filled expression of his own romantic feelings. .


DIRECTIONS : Parking at the gate of Norham Castle, East of the village of Norham, head back down the hill to a path which leads to the river, follow the path downstream, to the bench and stile , turn right up past past the crags.
The trees make getting co-ordinates difficult, but the cache site is hidden in plain view., THERE IS NO NEED TO LEAVE THE PATH! Please replace the cache properly and recover. Do not follow the riverside path beyond the bench as it is dangerous as the bank has been washed away and is slippery and muddy.
After the cache,the path then drops back down to the river, continuing on to a cottage1/2 ml away, where a road links back to the Norham-Berwick road.
