Saw this recently - bold, inspirational and powerful. A privilege to see Turner’s original works.

THREE LATE PAINTINGS BY TURNERJoseph Mallord William Turner [1775-1851]
Paintings of Haunting Absence
As Linda Pastan says - alluding, I think, to the topmost painting - in her poem, “Turner, Late Painting”:
This almost empty
canvas
is sister
to an empty page
just as a poem
enters: white
The poem goes on [read it here], but our attention has been drawn to the the overwhelming sense of absence in these three canvasses. Sunrise with Monsters (on top) was completed in 1845, Approach to Venice in 1844. I can’t find a date for The Exile and the Snail, but it portrays the same haunted emptiness. As in the first painting, there is an orange glow that hints at a dawn.
