This painter appended quotations from his epic poem "The Fallacies of Hope" to his paintings, and one story about him claims that he lashed himself to the mast of a ship in order to experience the drama of a storm. As if that wasn't enough, he was also prone to giving his paintings outrageously long titles, as seen in his "Snowstorm: Hannibal and His Army Crossing the Alps" and his "Slave Ship (Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying, Typhoon Coming On." For ten points, name this English "painter of light," the creator of "Rain, Steam, and Speed" and the painting voted Britain's best in 2005, "The Fighting Temeraire, Tugged to Her Last Birth to be Broken Up."
