Talk:Snow Storm: Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth

Disambiguation

Surely there are other paintings called Snow Storm. In particular, doesn't this need disambiguating from Turner's 1812 Snow Storm? Or at least a hatnote? The Tate calls this one Snow Storm - Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth. -- Theramin (talk) 23:15, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I fear your "yes" is somewhat too compressed an answer for me to understand precisely what you are agreeing with. Let me try again. There are (at least) two Turner paintings called Snow Storm with a subtitle, this one from 1842 and another from 1812, and there are no doubt paintings by other artists also called Snow Storm. So why is this one Snow Storm (painting)? Is there evidence to show that this the primary topic? I would suggest that this article is moved to Snow Storm: Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth, parallel to Snow Storm: Hannibal and his Army Crossing the Alps and then Snow Storm (painting) can become a disambiguation page for paintings called Snow Storm, or a redirect to Snowstorm (disambiguation). -- Theramin (talk) 23:57, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, good question. It probably has to be renamed, exactly as you suggested... Hafspajen (talk) 10:11, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

why is there two pictures of the same thing, did Turner do the watercolour first as practice thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.16.171.64 (talk) 01:06, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The watercolour may have been done as a sketch when Turner was actually on a ship looking at a stormy sea, or shortly afterwards on land- a sketch to help him remember the visual experience. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 05:52, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
