One of the great painters of the Romantic period is Joseph Mallord William Turner. Turner belongs among Romantics, who rebelled against the rational thinking of the Enlightenment by championing intense emotion and feel as a form of aesthetic experience. This can be seen in Turner 's The Field of Waterloo (fig 2).The heavens are in upheaval, darkness smothers the scene, and dead bodies litter the ground, producing a scene fraught with emotion. Turner chose to show the aftermath of Britain 's victory at Waterloo, shrouding the battlefield in gloom and the only source of light illuminates only the dead and their searching loved ones. Emphasizing the realities of war, suffering, and grief rather than fleeting victory. Instead of rationalizing the war, and showcasing the good spoils of the war, Turner creates a piece that allows the audience to wallow for a moment in the immense emotion associated with the event.
