I'm no art expert, but after watching a documentary on J.M.W. Turner and seeing some of his later works, I exclaimed to myself: "Fuck me, that's Impressionism!".
Well, it seemed like that to me. The problem was, he died a few decades before Impressionism started. So, what do the art experts here think? Consider, for example:

Or:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Slave-ship.jpg
Or:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chich ... 828%29.jpg
So, did the Frenchies steal his thunder?!!!
