"The Fighting Temeraire Tugged to Her Last Berth to Be Broken Up," painted by J.M.W. Turner in 1839, depicts the end of an era in naval history. The painting shows the majestic warship, the Temeraire, being towed to be dismantled. Turner's use of light and color, along with the symbolic imagery, creates a powerful commentary on the passage of time and the inevitability of change.
