Bravo! Ursula Cappelletti quickly identified the great British painter JMW Turner as "the painter of light," the answer to our our first Quick Quiz
Quick Quiz No. 2
Among his paintings:
One of a locomotive coming out of a home fireplace.
Another of a tobacco pipe, titled "This is not a pipe."
And one so famous, thieves couldn't sell it, so returned it.
Who was this painter?
Again, no prize, just a "Bravo!" for the first with the answer.
