I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I'm always happy to introduce new artists to my readers, especially when it's one of my all-time favorites, like Turner. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for your comment, David. It is truly almost invisible now or I would have included it in the gallery. It is one of the dark blotches to the right of the train tracks. There are several, but it's supposed to be at the halfway point of the track. If you look at the painting on the National Gallery's website, you can zoom in as if your nose is against the painting itself, but you probably still won't see the hare. https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/joseph-mallord-william-turner-rain-steam-and-speed-the-great-western-railway
Wonderful piece, thank you. Turner is such a marvel. Rain, Steam and Speed, new to me, is an extraordinary painting—and I so appreciate the details you included to give us a closer look.
Wow! New to this artist, and appreciate these examples and discussion. Thank you!

He lived from1775-1851, in the first paragraph, and yet 'The artist began to travel to continental Europe around 1902"

Thanks. It is a typo. I will fix it.
good overview…
I'm sad, because I could not find the rabbit

Thank you for all your research on Turner. I love the way you explained each painting, it was like a puzzle being solved.
