  • Cover photo description:
  • Turner painted and exhibited this during his three-month stay in Rome in 1828. Its dazzling effect is deliberate. Regulus was a Roman leader who was captured by the Carthaginians. His eyelids were cut off, leaving him blinded by the sun. Regulus may be the figure in white at the top of the stairs on the right-hand side.When he showed this painting in London in 1837 Turner was seen making last-minute changes. His palette apparently contained nothing but a ‘huge lump’ of white. As well as exaggerating the blazing sunlight, he may have also been covering damage the painting had suffered in transit back from Italy.
