The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, 16 October 1834
Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1775–1851, painted 1835
Held by The Cleveland Museum of Art and released as CC0 (Cleveland Museum of Art Open Access). It hangs here as a reference for a hand: paint your own line and the painters copy its brushwork, its palette and its light, and none of its subject.
A print of the scan itself, up to 20 × 30 inches from these 3,400 × 2,525 pixels. Nothing larger, because it would arrive soft.
- What a seed does
- The painting is the instruction. The painters take its handling, its surface and its light. Your line, or your photograph, is the only subject.
- The credit
- Every painting seeded from it carries “after Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851), The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, 16 October 1834, The Cleveland Museum of Art” on its plaque, and on the share page.
- The licence
- CC0 (Cleveland Museum of Art Open Access), as the museum states it. The scan is served with that credit in its headers, and it is never upscaled.
