Artwork Description

J.M.W. Turner’s apocalyptic 1834–35 masterpiece captures the terrifying yet mesmerising spectacle of the old Palace of Westminster engulfed in flames on the night of 16 October 1834, as seen from across the Thames. A vortex of incandescent yellow, orange and crimson consumes the sky, while the ghostly silhouette of the medieval buildings dissolves in fire and smoke, and crowds of tiny spectators gather helplessly on both banks. Painted from sketches made on the spot under the blazing light, this canvas transforms a national disaster into one of the most sublime visions of destruction and elemental power in all art.

Dramatic statement piece for a large living room, library, or history-themed interior; an awe-inspiring gift for lovers of British history, dramatic events, or the pure power of colour and light.
