One of Turner's notable pieces is "Rain, Steam and Speed – The Great Western Railway, " which depicts the power and beauty of industrialization during the 19th century.

In "The Goddess of Discord Choosing the Apple of Contention in the Garden of Hesperides, " Turner showcases mythological themes intertwined with nature's splendor. His ability to blend fantasy and reality creates a mesmerizing visual experience for viewers.

"The Burning of Houses of Lords and Commons" stands as a testament to Turner's ability to capture historical events with emotional intensity.
