About the piece

Created in 1841, this watercolor by J.M.W. Turner captures the sublime beauty of Lake Lucerne with his characteristic mastery of light and atmosphere. The composition centers on Tell’s Chapel, a small white structure dwarfed by the dramatic Swiss Alps, rendered in delicate washes of blue, rose, and gold that exemplify Turner's late, semi-abstract style.
