After Joseph Mallord William Turner RA 1775-1851- "The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last Berth to be broken up"; mid-late 19th century, appears to be a near contemporary copy of the original, oil on canvas, 91x122cm. Note: When Turner painted this picture he was at the height of his career, having exhibited at the Royal Academy, for forty years. He was renowned for his highly atmospheric paintings, exploring the subjects of the weather, the sea and effects of light. Turner spent a lot of his time by the Thames making sketches and then working them into finished paintings in the studio. He was present when this ship was being towed and made sketches of it. As with most of Turners finished paintings he uses considerable licence with the scene. Each generation seems to identify with the powerful symbolic meaning of the painting, Temeraire, taken from the French word meaning rash or reckless, had a glorious Trafalgar and had become a symbol of heroism; Turner appears to become more relevant as the decades pass, his influence is evident in all aspects and genres of British art from the early 19th century working with his great friend Tom Girtin and more than any other British artist he has taken his place as the ideal, a national treasurer, representing British painting then as now at the highest levels. In 2005, The Fighting Temeraire was voted the greatest painting in a British art gallery, In second place was John Constable`s The Hay Wain. Turner and Constable studied together at the Royal Academy and completed their paintings within eighteen years of each other. The pictures now hang only forty-feet apart at the National Gallery, London. (LP) The painting depicts one of the last second-rate ships of the line, which played a distinguished role in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, the 98-gun ship HMS Temeraire, being towed towards its final berth in East London 1838 to be broken up for scrap. It was the second ship in the line in the battle and drew fire from Nelson`s HMS Victory. Badly raked by fire, it later went to Victory`s help and went on to capture two French ships. Actually known to her crew as "Saucy Temeraire". John Ruskin called it Turner`s last great painting. And the artist himself was so fond of it that he refused to sell it and called it "My darling".
