About the piece

Painted in 1824 by Thomas Christopher Hofland, this evocative work offers a vista from the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. The composition leads the eye through the shadowed foliage of the foreground to the sunlit architectural domes of the hospital and the winding Thames, all rendered with the soft, luminous touch characteristic of the period's topographical tradition.
