Painting by John Constable From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waterloo Bridge is an 1820 riverscape painting by the British artist John Constable. It depicts a view of London looking eastwards towards Waterloo Bridge, which had opened three years earlier.[1] Also visible are notable other London landmarks including Somerset House and Saint Paul's Cathedral. In the foreground are waterman and bathers. Constable's patron John Fisher described it as Canaletto-like.[2] Constable spent many years working on a major project The Opening of Waterloo Bridge showing the events of 1817.[3]
