I’ve posted up Turner’s most famous work - the “Fighting Tremeraire”. I hope you will agree that - even in miniature jpg form - it seems to glow like a fire opal. It’s the most fascinating picture.

I agree it's a gorgeous, incredibly impressive work and as such would never be considered for the Turner prize   :-)

I seem to recall that particular work as fetching a record-setting auction price a few years ago.

It's so sad that Turner's legacy has been corrupted in such a vile manner by the ways in which the Turner prize has been hijacked by Leftist know-nothings.
