Fonthill Abbey, Wiltshire 

This watercolor, “Fonthill Abbey, Wiltshire,” by J.M.W. Turner, is a quintessential example of the artist's Romantic style. The misty, hazy atmosphere, and the dramatic depiction of the gothic architecture evoke a sense of awe and mystery. Turner's brushstrokes are loose and gestural, creating a sense of movement and energy. The image, although capturing a specific location, focuses on the mood of the scene, rather than realistic depiction.
