MAGNIFICENT VERY LARGE REPRODUCTION OIL ON CANVAS OF JOSEPH TURNER'S FAMOUS PAINTING "The Fighting Temeraire ". BY THE FABULOUS ARTIST DAVID ALDUS.

This Lovely reproduction painting uses oils ever more transparently  and turned to an evocation of almost pure light by use of shimmering colour. Turner's beautiful masterpiece captures the tragic last journey of the heroic battleship "The fighting Temeraire". The ship is being dragged up the river Thames to be scrapped. Turner's genius also captures the end of an era as the old sailing ship is being pulled by a steam ship heralding in a new dawn of the Industrial revolution. The intensity of hue and interest in evanescent light not only placed Turner's work in the vanguard of English painting, but later exerted an influence upon art in France, as well; the Impressionists, particularly Claude Monet, carefully studied his techniques. In the modern art era, advocates of abstract art were also inspired by Turner. (The battleship the "Fighting Temeraire" fought right alongside Nelson's " The Victory" at the battle of Trafalgar 1805.The ship was originally French called the Temeraire but was captured by the English and re-named the "Fighting Temeraire" )
