But it's rather paradoxical as, while this statement reaches the charts, the "artificial" (images, machines...) progress rapidly. Between hi-tech and virtual, the concept of nature holds its own, but has become rather confusing. What his happening to the notion of nature today ?

A Royal Academy exhibitioner at the age of fifteen, J.M.W. Turner, by the end of his life, was the best known artists in England during the Romantic period and one of the forerunners of Impressionism. A life-long lover of landscape and seascape painting, he traveled widely in search of inspiration. No artist had ever painted light and color as Turner did in his astonishing later works.
