About the piece
Painted in 1831, J. M. W. Turner's 'Staffa, Fingal's Cave' exemplifies the artist's legendary ability to render turbulent weather and luminous light. The scene depicts a steamship battling heavy swells near the basalt columns of the Isle of Staffa, illuminated by a glowing sun that pierces through a heavy, brooding sky.
