The English artist most strongly influenced by the French painter Claude Lorrain was J.M.W. Turner.12
Turner held Claude in such high regard that he emulated his work throughout his career, particularly in his mastery of luminosity, atmosphere, and light. This influence was so profound that Turner famously requested in his will that his paintings Dido Building Carthage (1815) and Sun Rising Through Vapour (1807) be hung in the National Gallery alongside two of his favorite works by Claude. Additionally, Turnerās Liber Studiorum was inspired by Claudeās own studio record, the Liber Veritatis.12
