Analysis of William Turner's painting: "The shipwreck".
In a chaotic composition, we can see a dreadful catastrophe.
A shipwreck may be regarded as one of the worst happening that a human can go through.
Turner portrayed the power of the nature, which is amplified by the power of the waves of the sea that are able to destroy a boat like the one that is painted into the painting.
There is a destructive nature (sea is no respecter of humans), but at the same time it has a grate charm.
Symbolically, Turner rapresented the contrast between man and nature: man cannot do anything against the devasting power of nature. He only has to submit himself to it.
My impression as I look at the painting is fear, as men are destined to almost certain death, but at the same time I am astonished by the sublime power of the sea. M. Lo Piccolo VH, D.Sciortino
This picture astonishes me for the armony between the elements. In fact there are some beautiful characters but also very terrified.
The terror is given by the expression of fishermen that makes me feel anxiety for what happened; while the beautiful is the little piece of sky, that represents the hope to survive for the fishermen.
I think that colours give also harmony to the painting, in fact there is a contrast between the darkness of the storm and the light of the sky.

William Turner is my favourite Romantic painter. He always painted in his works the power of the nature, like in this painting. In “The shipwreck” the artist wants provoke different feelings, especially agony, terrory, but also it provoke charm. Turner thank his ability has represented in his paintings the beautiful of those terrifying moments. Turner gives fullness, clear and dark with colors. I think that William turner is the best Romantic artist and this is beautiful painting like the others works.
