The image of Monroe comes from a publicity still for her 1953 movie Niagara.[1]
In 1822, the British Romantic landscape painter JMW Turner created the large-scale oil painting The Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805. King George IV commissioned this work to be part of a series of works in St. James Palace to decorate three state reception rooms and link the Hanoverian dynasty with military success.[2] This work was Turner’s only royal commission and was to stand as the pendant piece to Philippe-Jacques de Loutherbourg’s Battle of the First of June, 1794.[3] This massive history painting measures about 8’7” x 12’1” and was given to Greenwich Hospital shortly after its original installation. The painting now hangs in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London.
