About the piece

Painted around 1770, William Marlow’s view of the River Thames captures a moment of architectural pride in Georgian London. The scene depicts the newly completed Blackfriars Bridge and the majestic dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, rendered with soft, atmospheric light and lively details of river life, from rowing boats to heavy barges.
