Born in London in 1775, Joseph Mallord William Turner is perhaps the most famous British artist in history, and one whose contribution is still acknowledged today. The Turner Prize, awarded each year to a young artist based in Britain, was named in his honour to celebrate experimentation and innovation in art. As several works by J.M.W Turner are offered in the Old Masters sale week, we take a look at three works across the sales at very different price points
