△《Shade and Darkness - The Evening of the Deluge》Artist: J. M. W. Turner (British, 1775-1851), 787 x 781 mm, exhibited 1843, oil on canvas, Tate, accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856.
這是另一件《Light and Colour (Goethe‘s Theory)》作品，同樣是根據摩西的創世記敘述大洪水泛濫成災的大場景。
透納的藝術創作傾向於打破造形的成規，以不可預知的構成元素，闡述他心目中的想法、具象化思維，其作品總瀰漫著一股「未可預期」的魅力。
『The morn put forth her sign of woe unheeded;
But disobedience slept; the dark‘ning Deluge closed around,
And the last token came: the giant framework floated,
The roused birds forsook their nightly shelters screaming
And the beasts waded to the ark.
--Joseph Mallord William Turner, Fallacies of Hope』
△《The Angel Troubling the Pool》Artist: J. M. W. Turner (British, 1775-1851), 228 x 290 mm, ca. 1845, graphite and watercolor on paper, Tate, accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856.
與眾不同的是，透納利用阿爾卑斯山的山景融入了聖經主題，敘述耶路撒冷瀕臨大旱的狀態，五個門廊裡靜靜躺著一大群無能為力的信眾、盲者，氣氛停滯與枯槁，全在等待雨水的降臨。
天使落腳於乾枯的池塘旁，臨危受命，為生民禱告、為眾人消災除厄。透納選擇了這種「令人不安」的表現技法，預警世人：居安當需思危。
