- Abstract
The article discusses English painter Joseph Mallord William Turner's insistence that artist Edward Bird's oil painting "The Reading of the Will Concluded" be placed in a prime spot instead of one of his own at the 1811 Royal Academy Council Exhibition in Somerset House in London, England. Topics covered include Turner paintings in the Inner Room exhibition space such as "Whalley Bridge and Abbey, Lancashire: Dyers Washing and Drying Cloth," "November: Flounder-Fishing" and "May: Chickens."
