 High Prestige Exhibition Standard Reproduction very large Oil Painting of Turner's "Fishermen at Sea". This lovely large  painting uses oils ever more transparently and turned to an evocation of almost pure light by use of shimmering colour!!. "Fishermen at Seas was the first oil painting Turner exhibited at the Royal Academy.

This is a moonlit scene in the tradition of Horace Vernet, Philip de Loutherbourg and Joseph Wright of Derby. These painters were largely responsible for fuelling the 18th-century vogue for nocturnal subjects. The sense of the overwhelming power of nature is a key theme of the Sublime. The potency of the moonlight contrasts with the delicate vulnerability of the flickering lantern, emphasising nature’s power over mankind and the fishermen’s fate in particular. The jagged silhouettes on the left are the treacherous rocks called ‘the Needles’ off the Isle of Wight.....
