The buyer made a smart purchase.
In five years his 20 million will buy a postcard replica.

JMW Turner was one of the greatest English artists.His use of strong white pigment underlaying his paintings are what gives them a sort of glowing effect.
Hisbest known and a treasure of England is "The Fighting Temeraire Towed To Her Last Berth".

The buyer made a smart purchase. In five years his 20 million will buy a postcard replica. Maybe. But The Getty has a reputation for over paying. And in five years, it might be that no one is paying anything for paintings.
