1849
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Mountainous Landscape is a 1849 watercolor by Joseph Mallord William Turner, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a misty mountain scene. The colors are soft—lots of pale yellows, blues, and browns. The sky blends into the hills, making it hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. Light hits the peaks, but everything else looks fuzzy and far away. Turner often painted landscapes this way, focusing on mood over details. The brushstrokes are loose, almost like watercolor washes.
