About the painter:

Joseph Mallord William Turner 

Active during the late 18th and early 19th century, primarily known for landscape and marine paintings.  He came from a lower class family and started his career as an architectural draftsman, then went on to success as a painter during his lifetime.  This painting is Norham Castle, Sunrise from 1845 during his modernism period.  

The vast majority of his work, including this painting, is in the Tate Britain.  In the US, Yale has quite a few works, as does the Indianapolis Museum of Art.  Smaller numbers, or single paintings, can be found at the Art Institute of Chicago, Cleveland Museum of Art, Dallas Museum of Art, the Frick Collection, Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Huntington in San Marino CA, Metropolitan Museum in NYC, MFA Boston, National Gallery in Washington DC, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Taft Museum of Art in Cincinnati.
