You should probably read up on what impressionism is, jamest. You can certainly draw parallels between what Turner was doing and what the impressionists were doing, but impressionism as a movement is those French guys at that time, with their particular themes. I tried to find if they even saw Turner's work that was originally panned but later praised as being impressionistic, but I couldn't find the answer. But for sure, to describe Turner as unsung is absurd.
