The Fighting Téméraire being tugged to her last berth to be broken up - by Joseph Mallord William Turner
After six weeks of voting the British public has chosen The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her Last Berth to be broken up, 1838 - by Turner - as the winner of the Greatest Painting in Britain Poll. On 25 July 2005 the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, in partnership with the National Gallery, launched the hunt to find the Greatest Painting in Britain. The purpose was to stimulate a national debate about painting and focus attention on the great art that the nation holds - that 118,877 votes were cast, more than any other Radio 4 poll ever, seems to indicate this aim was achieved.
