After Whistler at Tate Britain, a Ruskinian exercise in attention from Vauxhall Bridge.
Downstream towards Westminster, an arrangement in blue; upstream towards Nine Elms, under the storm-cloud. 🌩️
Same river, same moment, two Londons.
#Ruskin #Whistler #London

View downstream from Vauxhall Bridge towards Westminster. The Thames fills the foreground beneath a vivid blue sky broken by large white and grey clouds. The London Eye is visible in the distance, with buildings lining both banks and boats on the river.

View upstream from Vauxhall Bridge towards Nine Elms. Tall modern towers rise beneath heavy, dark grey storm clouds, with cranes and apartment blocks below. A small aeroplane crosses the top-left of the sky, adding to the dramatic, unsettled atmosphere.

Pre cancer I did the Gran Fondo twice, hope to recover enough to do it again.

May all tomorrow's riders have a safe and healthy ride!

Off to see Whistler at Tate Britain. Among the highlights is The Falling Rocket, the much-debated painting criticised by Ruskin and later at the heart of the Whistler v Ruskin libel trial. #Whistler #Ruskin #Tate

James McNeill Whistler’s Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket. A largely abstract nighttime scene dominated by deep greens, blues, and black tones. Golden flecks and streaks of paint descend through a smoky sky, suggesting fireworks bursting and falling over water. Near the center, a pale cloud of smoke glows softly against the dark background. The lower portion of the painting shows muted reflections on the water and a narrow strip of shoreline, where a few tiny, indistinct figures appear as silhouettes. The composition emphasizes atmosphere rather than detail, with loose brushwork, haze, and scattered points of light creating an impression of a fleeting fireworks display at night. The image has a subdued, dreamlike quality, with darkness enveloping most forms and only the sparks providing contrast.

What happens when a painting becomes more like music? 🎨🎶

In Nocturne: Blue and Silver – Chelsea, Whistler invites us to experience colour, harmony and atmosphere as much as place.

Look closely. What strikes you first?

The place, the colour — or the mood?
