#Turner painting

The house in Peacehaven that Tom picks out for his and Marion's retirement is tied to the Turner painting he and Patrick first connect over.

"How does it make you feel?", Patrick asks. The feelings Tom describes, "Like swimming in rough surf" and the ensuing conversation is foreshadowing for what is about to happen to their lives.

There's a reason Grandage picked this scene as the opening of the first teaser for the film.

Forty years on, Tom has chosen to live out his life in a house with a side view of the sea. The sea, with its rough waves, is a permanent feature of the house and it's the connection to his memories of Patrick.

The painting is "Snow Storm – Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth Making Signals in Shallow Water" by J.M.W. Turner, 1842. It's a (heavy handed) metaphor for the story, Tom at the center of a storm of emotions. Patrick and Marion the warring sea and storm. He is the light at the center of the storm, fighting against the waves and snow to stay afloat long enough to make it shore.

Turner belonged to the Romantic movement in art, music, and literature. Think Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley and Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Chopin. The Romantic movement was all about emotions and individualism. Turner's style of painting to depict the movement of natural elements would go on to influence the Impressionist, Post-Impressionists, and Modernists. The Turner Prize is named after him.

hi hello can we talk about this page of turner's sketchbook which they think is a study of lot and his daughters fleeing the destruction of sodom & how the page itself is straight up cut away behind them. because the physical hole in the paper is doing insane things for me. normally in a painting of this story you'd see flames or falling buildings or something in the background but here there's instead this horrifying emptiness in the material itself. like the paper world they exist in is literally dissolving away behind them. or what they don't see it just too awful to comprehend. insane
