Round 8: Tossup 16
A critic of this artist called his painting Angel Standing in the Sun indicative of “mental disease” after previously championing him in the book Modern Painters. A bright yellow sunrise appears in an Aeneid-inspired work by this artist which was hung next to several paintings by Claude Lorrain. This artist of Dido Building Carthage had lines from his “Fallacies of Hope” accompany a painting which depicts a chained leg thrown overboard from a ship. In a hazy 1844 painting by this artist, a rabbit appears in the way of a black train on a bridge over a river. For 10 points, name this English artist of The Slave Ship and Rain, Steam, and Speed. ■END■
