I've got a print of "Temeraire" on my wall. It's a great picture- the grand old warship being towed away to be broken up by a new-fangled smoke-belching steam tug.
Mortality. Romance. The pitiless march of time and progress. A sunset that sets the sky on fire. Turner was a genius.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

Yesterday one of our latenight talkers assumed the first place for Turner's pic had to do with some nostalgia towards the empire, you know like "Rule, Britannia, Rule the Waves" etc.

Apparently Turner did offer to sell the painting to the widow of the man who captained the Temeraire at Trafalgar. Her answer was "Two hundred pounds for a painting by a LIVING artist? No."Never give an AI an even break.Comment
