About the piece

Painted in 1825, 'The Harbor of Dieppe' is a masterclass in J.M.W. Turner’s signature atmospheric style. The composition is bathed in a radiant, hazy light that dissolves the horizon, blending the busy waterfront and numerous sailing vessels into a harmonious, golden-toned seascape that epitomizes Romantic-era grandeur.
