The Fighting Temeraire
Poster
£15.000
This poster print features Joseph Mallord William Turner's The Fighting Temeraire. The painting was thought to represent the decline of Britain's naval power. The ' Temeraire' is shown travelling east, away from the sunset, even though Rotherhithe is west of Sheerness, but Turner's main concern was to evoke a sense of loss, rather than to give an exact recording of the event. The spectacularly colourful setting of the sun draws a parallel with the passing of the old warship. By contrast the new steam-powered tug is smaller & more prosaic. About this painting The Fighting Temeraire, 1839 Oil on canvas, 90.7 x 121.6 cm © Turner Bequest, 1856 This poster displays the artist's name & the National Gallery logo at the bottom. ...

The Fall Of Phaeton Print

The subject of this painting is taken from Ovid's 'Metamorphoses'(Book 2).Phoebus, god of the sun, was persuaded to allow his son, Phaeton, to drive his chariot. Phaeton quickly lost control of the horses and the chariot came too near the earth, setting it alight, destroying cities and forests and drying up rivers, springs and even the sea. To prevent heaven and earth from destruction, Jupiter hurled a thunderbolt at the chariot which smashed it to pieces, sending Phaeton tumbling to his death. The nymphs on the left look up, terror-stricken, and on the right the winged Heliades, Phoebus' daughters, mourn the death of their brother. One of Liss's most striking works, 'The Fall of Phaeton' probably dates from around 1624, when the artist was living in Italy.
