He is commonly known as "the painter of light". One of his main themes was the helplessness and smallness of man against the destructive forces of nature. One of my favourite paintings is "The Fighting `Temeraire' tugged to her Last Berth to be broken up. Turner was in his sixties when he painted this painting. It shows his mastery of painting techniques to suggest sea and sky. It depicts one of the last second-rate ships of the line which played a distinguished role in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Turner's main concern was to evoke a sense of loss, rather than to give an exact recording of the event. The painting "The Fighting 'Temeraire' " was painted in the years 1838-1839. The painting technique is oil, 91 x 122 cm. The painting type is landscape. Now the painting "The Fighting 'Temeraire' " locates in National Gallery, London. The spectacularly colourful setting of the sun draws a parallel with the passing of the old warship.

Saksa väikeriigist koosnev Reini Liit, mille eestkostjaks ehk protektoriks oli Napoleon. Reini Liidu loomise tagajärjel lakkas olemast muistne Püha Rooma keisririik. Koalitsioonisõjad aga jätkusid, kõigis koalitsioonides osales Inglismaa, kes kartis, et revolutsiooni mõju võiks tuua kaasa ka kuningriigi kukutamise Inglismaal. 1805. aastal tuli aga Napolenol võtta vastu kaotus Inglismaa ja Hispaania merelaevastiku vastu lahingus, mis kandis nime Trafalgar. Selleks, et allutada Inglismaad, sulges Napoleon 1806. aastal Inglismaa laevadele kõik sadamad mandri Euroopas. See oli tugev hoop Inglismaa majandusele. Selline kaubavahetuse mitte toimumine Inglismaa ja Prantsusmaa ning Prantsusmaa poolel olevate riikide ja Inglismaa vahel mõjus rängalt kõigile, ka Prantsusmaa majandusele. Sõjategevus Napoleoni vastu aga jätkus, 1807. aastal sai siin aga Venemaa Prantsumaalt lüüa ning pidi sõlmima rahu, nn Tilsiti rahu.
