In 1815 there was a volcanic eruption on My. Tambora. that engulfed the whole world 🌍 in a red or orange mist that effected the Summer with rain & the sunset's with a reddish color.. This stayed around for a few years ..3 or so ... which the artists captured in painting......Also his later paintings reminds me of Whistler's ... very diffused & Misty ... just my opinion..
I'm sharing this whole series.
Such rewarding discussion. My whole view of Turner has been expanded immensely. Thank you so much.
