About the piece

Painted in 1835 by George Chambers, this oil work depicts the iconic Greenwich Hospital from a river perspective. The composition masterfully balances the monumental stone architecture with the fluid motion of the Thames, featuring a variety of vessels from majestic sailing ships to busy rowboats under a vast, cloud-filled sky.
