The Fifth Plague of Egypt |

| Object type | painting | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
This painting was done for the Royal Academy exhibition in London. It depicts hail, which was the seventh plague as described in the Book of Exodus, rather than the death of livestock, which was the actual fifth plague. |

| Object history | This painting actually belongs to the Indianapolis Museum of Art, home to the largest Turner collection outside the UK. The painting came to New Orleans as a result of a Super Bowl wager between the two museums at the beginning of 2010, where the losing city's museum loans an artwork to the winning city's museum for three months. 2010's Super Bowl pitted the Indianapolis Colts against the New Orleans Saints, and the Saints' victory was a huge morale booster for a town that had been devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. WHO DAT? GEAUX SAINTS! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Notes | Speaking of Indianapolis Museum of Art, I had planned to visit it during my week-long business trip to Indianapolis in April 2008, but scrapped that when the trip turned extremely sour and I ended up going home a day early. Glad to see at least this painting under much more pleasant circumstances. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
