Artist: J.M.W. Turner
Date: 1840
Size: 114 x 146 cm
Technique: Oil On Canvas
Although donated to the United Kingdom as part of the Turner Bequest in 1856, this canvas was first exhibited in 1906, when twenty-one of the artist’s unfinished works that had been in storage at Tate were put on view. It includes indistinct representations of the arches of Waterloo Bridge in the distant center, a ship’s crew at oar on the right, and probably a sooty smoke stack on the left. As it stands, the painting’s moodiness and lack of grandeur defy the conventional approach to a scene focused on a symbol of the nation’s victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo.
