Rain, Steam and Speed – The Great Western Railway
''Rain, Steam and Speed – The Great Western Railway'' is an oil painting by the 19th century British painter J. M. W. Turner. The painting was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1844, though it may have been painted earlier. It is now in the collection of the National Gallery, London.
The Great Western Railway (GWR) was one of a number of private British railway companies created to develop the new means of transport. The location of the painting is widely accepted as Maidenhead Railway Bridge, across the River Thames between Taplow and Maidenhead. The view is looking east towards London. The bridge was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1838. A tiny hare appears in the bottom right corner of the painting. Some think this is a reference to the limits of technology.〔Hanning, Barbara. (2010) ''Concise History of Western Music''. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, p. 402.〕 Others believe the animal is running in fear of the new machinery and Turner meant to hint at the danger of man's new technology destroying the inherent sublime elements of nature.〔Meslay, Olivier. (2005) ''J.M.W. Turner: The Man Who Set Painting On Fire''. London: Thames & Hudson, 2005, p. 133.〕
