Turner and the Hero Ship

Yesterday there was an excellent discussion about the Fighting Temeraire on BBC Radio 4’s ‘In Our Time‘.  And they mentioned that Turner might not had actually seen the Temeraire being towed, which I believe it is true since Turner was reported to be in South France at that time.  However, this fact does not influence in anything of the powerful and heroic message this painting (National Gallery in London) has to offer.

The ghost ship you see here is the Temeraire, it is being towed by this dark tugboat after the Battle of Trafalgar, a huge naval battle between the British and the French which the British navy won.  The Temeraire  was a British ship and it  was the key element for such victory. However, after the battle the Temeraire had never seen action again, it was turned into a supply ship, until it was sold for scrap. So, this is a painting of the last moments of a hero ship after a glorious journey.

A Pair of Rembrandt

I was not sure why France would agree with the “joined” purchase of the Rembrandts, and this article helped me to understand the transaction and its “political (personal) advantages”: here

Maybe the “non-monopolize” act is a positive way for the pieces to be exposed and easier accessibility, however, I don’t see the difference between that to just lending it.
