Fort Vimieux - William Turner

Fort Vimieux is a bold romantic composition by William Turner in which a fiery sunset sits just to the right of a grounded three-master. The overall tone of the sky matches that of the sandy beach and the clouds have no competition for the glowing sun. What makes the work fascinating is this muted sky despite the red of a vibrant sunset.
