It is impossible to miss the dramatic balance of the same colors in the sunset and the smoke from the tug. The end of the day, and the beginning of steam ships. And yet, something about the beautiful spirit of the ghostly Temeraire lingers in the cool gray of the sun and steals our hearts. Perhaps Turner, too, felt old and about to be cast away, but still full of past glory and the indomitable spirit of England. We age, we are broken up, but our heroic deeds do not die. Keep fighting, Temeraire!

Beautiful comment and sentiment.
Fantastic historical and artistically expose of Turners brilliant work and life. Thank you
Incredibly well done!! Thank you
paint and bristles …AND (more importantly) an elevated consciousness.
Turner, the first impressionist.
Peace man.
2024.
Outside of the UK Turner and his paintings are insignificant and mostly unknown.
I do think he made amazing paintings and had much talent!
Not my impression from the U.S.A.
I was not familiar with his works
that's awesome, awesome honesty that is, i never heard of Pele, haha
