EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil painting captures the historic Walton Bridges that once spanned the River Thames between the locks at Sunbury and Shepperton in Surrey, England. Dated circa 1806, this masterpiece showcases the double-span bridges in their prime, with their elegant arches reflecting gracefully in the tranquil waters below. The scene is further enhanced by the picturesque surroundings, with lush greenery and quaint cottages adding to the idyllic setting. The painting is attributed to the renowned British artist, Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851), who is celebrated for his innovative and impressionistic approach to landscape painting. Turner's skillful use of light and color is evident in this work, as the sun casts a warm glow over the bridges and the surrounding landscape. This painting is part of a new series from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, and was first published in February 1922. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period when these bridges were an essential part of the local community, connecting the towns of Walton-on-Thames and Shepperton. The Walton Bridges, which were replaced by new structures in the early 20th century, hold a significant place in the history of Surrey and the Thames Valley. This stunning oil painting is a testament to Turner's artistic vision and the enduring beauty of the Thames River and its surroundings.
