Painting by J. M. W. Turner
London from Greenwich Park is an 1809
landscape painting by the English artist
J. M. W. Turner.
[1] It looks down from
Greenwich Hill towards
Greenwich Hospital and the
Queen's House. In the distance beyond the
River Thames is the
City of London with
St Paul's Cathedral towering over the other buildings. It emphasises the extent of the capital as an expanding
metropolis.
[2] It replicates a similar view by the Dutch painter
Hendrick Danckerts dating back to 1670.
As part of the
Turner Bequest in 1856, it came into the hands of the British government. It is now in the
Tate Britain collection.
