About the piece

Painted in 1873, this work by Charles-François Daubigny captures the historic silhouette of St Paul's Cathedral from the industrial Surrey side of the Thames. The composition uses a muted, tonal palette to convey the thick London atmosphere, contrasting the massive stone dome with the dark, grounding shapes of river barges in the foreground.
