About the piece

Created in 1816, this watercolor by J.M.W. Turner provides a sophisticated glimpse into the changing English landscape during the Industrial Revolution. Turner contrasts the busy activities of stonemasons and travelers on a sun-drenched hillside with the smoky, kiln-filled valley of Leeds in the distance, all unified under a luminous, expansive sky.
