Turner and the Masters at Tate Britain is an ambitious exhibition which shows 
  the depth of the painter's engagement with his artistic predecessors.

The subject explored by 'Turner and the Masters’ at Tate Britain is so 
  fundamental to understanding the art of JMW Turner that I’m surprised it’s 
  never been done before. All artists learn by copying the art of the past.

What makes Turner unique is that his engagement with the old masters was so 
  blatant, so public, and lasted throughout his career. Whether you see them 
  as acts of homage or confrontation, every picture by him in this show is a 
  variation on a theme provided by an old master.

As a student he

  painting at the top, followed by landscape, portraiture and genre painting.
