I saw the original on temporary display in the National Art Gallery here in Canberra last year.
I’m always surprised at how different the originals of famous paintings look, Phil.
Nice painting,are you channeling Remus?
Sigh……I miss his comments on art.
my thought too- and- I too miss Remus-

I don’t think he’ll have second thoughts and be back, Carol. And there’s no other blog which could possibly fill that gap.
RIP Remus.
This painting is poignant at this time of western nations reducing military numbers and relying on drones. Ever since man has fought man our weapons have become longer and better to distance ourselves from our victims. We are pussies led by pussies. The enemy, you know who I mean, are not pussies, they want to get up close and personal when they knife us. Even their women fight frontline and cast stones. We need the public to regain some of that Fighting Temeraire spirit. Otherwise we’re toast.

True. But I fear it’s too late. Andy. Western man has been neutered.
