The Opening of the Wallhalla 1842 Oil on mahogany; 1127 x 2007 mm N00533 This is the first of four pictures telling the story of Aeneas’s stay at Carthage. Aeneas was delayed from his destiny to become the founder of Rome by his love for Dido, which made him linger in Carthage. The four paintings were Turner’s last exhibits at the Royal Academy. Only three now survive. They are Turner’s final homage to his favourite old master painter, Claude Lorrain. Here, Aeneas stands on the left in his cloak of Tyrian purple, attended by Cupid. Mercury cannot be seen; perhaps he has melted into thin air, as described in Virgil’s Aeneid.

A Disaster at Sea ? circa 1835 This canvas was never exhibited and is probably not quite finished, but it seems to be well on the way to becoming one of Turner's most powerful statements on the Romantic theme of maritime disaster. Its pyramidal composition leaves little doubt that Turner had seen Gericault's Raft of the Medusa (now in the Louvre, in Paris) when it was exhibited in London in 1822. Turner's own subject is the wreck of the Amphitrite off Boulogne in 1833 . The ship's captain abandoned his cargo of female convicts, claiming that he was only authorised to land them in New South Wales. Canvas; 1714 x 2203 mm frame: 2190 x 2685 x 173 mm N00558

Lady Hamilton as Circe circa 1782 Canvas; 533 x 495 mm N05591 Emma Hart (1765-1815), better known in her later roles as Lady Hamilton and mistress of Admiral Lord Nelson, became Romney's favourite model from about 1782 onwards. Although Romney was considered by many Reynolds's chief rival in portraiture, he always longed to be a 'history' painter. He painted Emma's ideally regular features innumerable times in many classical and fanciful disguises. This is a cut-down unfinished canvas of Emma in the character of the sorceress Circe, who enslaved men by turning them into swine. The original full-length version, showing her surrounded by animals, was formerly in Lord Hunsdon's collection.
