A new study suggests classic paintings by renowned artists Joseph Mallord William Turner and Claude Monet may have been influenced by air pollution during the Industrial Revolution.
Researchers say as the “atmospheric reality” in London and Paris changed due to industrial pollution, so did the artists’ work to reflect a hazier landscape by using a whiter colour palette. According to the authors of the study, stylistic changes in Turner’s and Monet’s works “are consistent with the optical changes expected from higher atmospheric aerosol concentrations.”
In short, the study suggests Turner and Monet documented the incremental increase of pollution in London and Paris in their paintings.Scientists have successfully been able to measure painters’ accurate depiction of nature in the past, pointing to differences in local weather patterns influencing colour saturation in works painted in certain parts of Europe versus others.
