J.W.W.Turner.

Bellizona, Switzerland.
Here's a hint of why the work of Turner has been considered so important in the development of painting.

Broad swashes of color, a little linework, some careful and strategically placed silhouettes, and we have an image powerful, evoc.ative, suggestive. This is poetry of the highest order, spare and cutting right to the heart
