Looking East off Jarrow 1835



Some news from Mike Ellison,Hebburn web site controller.

The second image posted (by Patrick) is taken from the website of the
American National Gallery, where the painting resides. So it will be a
professional photograph of the actual painting - properly lit, without
reflections. I like it so much because its absolutely classic Turner. As
my missus always says, he was without doubt England's greatest ever
painter.

Another Hebburn on Tyne contributor,his name is Patrick,submitted this new shot of the same painting,I wonder if its been cleaned? Patrick says he believes the painting is still in Washington,USA?



I have just found mention to this wonderfull painting by Wm Turner dated 1835,it was Mike Ellison editor of www.hebburn.org who found it,Jarrow and Hebburn are both towns in Englands east coast,the River Tyne,an area made famous over very many years for good ship building.
