Description |
Turner witnessed
the fire that burnt down most of the Palace of Westminster
on 16 October 1834. He made a watercolour sketch at the time, which he then used as the basis of several larger paintings. As well as this one, he also painted
a more distant view with the same title
(now at the Cleveland Museum of Art) and
The Burning of the Houses of Parliament
(Tate Gallery).
