Chichester Canal is a painting by the English Romantic landscape painter, watercolourist and printmaker J. M. W. Turner. It was painted in 1828.[1] The painting was commissioned by George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont.[2]
The painting itself
The painting depicts the Chichester Canal in Sussex, southern England. The ship is probably a collier brig, as this serene scene had commercial purpose.
Colours
Its brilliant colours may have been influenced by atmospheric ash from the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia (see also Year Without a Summer).
Current status
The painting is currently housed in the Tate Collection.
