The Turner exhibit was very Turner;

The whole exhibit centered around Turner's 1840 masterpiece, "Rocket and Blue Lights" which was newly restored. This image was the brilliant fulcrum to all the other paintings. The image I have reprinted here below is from the Tate's archives, and is before the restoration.
