About The Thames near Walton Bridges

“The Thames near Walton Bridges” is a cityscape artwork created by J.M.W. Turner around the year 1807, during the Romanticism movement. The artwork is approximately 37 x 73.4 cm in dimensions and is currently housed in Tate Modern, London, UK.

The artwork depicts a serene view of the Thames River flanked by lush foliage and tranquil, reflective waters. Scattered boats and distant figures along the bank add rhythm and life to the scene. Domineering the composition is the vast sky, painted with a sweep of clouds in soft hues. The misty background with fields and a bridge evokes a sense of depth and calm. Turner’s delicate brushwork and adept use of light and shadow capture the transient beauty and atmosphere of the landscape, making “The Thames near Walton Bridges” a quintessential example of his masterful artistry.
