Estimate value
€ 2 000 – 3 000
London 1775 - 1851
37,5 x 45,5 cm
Segelschiffe bei Sonnenuntergang vor einem aufziehenden Sturm. Öl/Holz, rückseitig zwei Etiketten mit Bezeichnung und Nummerierung "268 Miss Rogers".
Alte süddeutsche Privatsammlung. Das Gemälde orientiert sich am Sklavenschiff (Originaltitel "Slavers Throwing overboard the Dead and Dying - Typhon coming on") im Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In diesem klassischen Beispiel für ein romantisches maritimes Gemälde stellt Turner ein im Hintergrund sichtbares Schiff dar, das durch eine stürmische See mit aufgewühltem Wasser fährt und verstreute menschliche Gestalten in seinem Kielwasser zurücklässt. Möglicherweise wurde Turner zu dem Gemälde veranlasst, nachdem er in der 1839 erschienenen zweiten Auflage von The History and Abolition of the Slave Trade von Thomas Clarkson über das Sklavenschiff Zong gelesen hatte. Die erste Ausstellung des Gemäldes im Jahr 1840 fiel zeitlich mit internationalen Kampagnen zur Abschaffung des Sklavenhandels zusammen.
