His style, powerful and fierce, melding the elements with humankind are thought by many to have prepared the way for \u003cb\u003eImpressionism\u003c\/b\u003e. In his time he was controversial, but his focus on land and seascapes widened the palette of artists and their audience, and his impressionistic brushwork prepared the way for the fragmentation of the modern era. This wonderful new book brings to life his greatest achievements, with such paintings as \u003ci\u003eThe Fighting 'Temeraire'\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eInside Tintern Abbey\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRain, Steam and Speed (The Great Western Railway)\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosalind Ormiston is an author and arts journalist with a wide range of interests in art, architecture and design history.
