Turner Bequest CCLIX 104
Display caption
The design in this watercolour foreshadows Turner’s painting of the Fighting Téméraire (seen in the print to the right). The later painting was a nostalgic reflection upon Britain’s passing glories. This scene,
of a streamtug on the lower Seine in France, is more straightforward in its presentation of the usefulness and even excitement
of the new technology.
