The story behind the motif
Canvas with a beautiful painting painted by the British artist William Turner in 1835. In the picture we see a moonlit seascape that changes from a golden color to light blue along the horizon. We see several ships and a small, dark rowing boat with two passengers moving between them.
To the right of the painting we see three flames in the darkness. The shapes of men shoveling coal, boxes and barges are dark silhouettes against the firelight and smoke. More rowing boats float among the boats in the distance.
Turner is best known for his romantic landscape paintings, whose style can be said to have laid the foundation for Impressionism. His art is among the world's most valued. In 2009, his painting The Temple of Jupiter Panellenius was sold for the equivalent of 103 million kroner, which is the second highest amount paid for a British work of art. In 2006, a Venetian landscape was sold by Turner for the equivalent of SEK 283 million.
Artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner | Created: 1835.
