Catalogue entry

York Minster is one of the most impressive of English Gothic cathedrals, its period of building encompassing all the stylistic developments from the mid-thirteenth to the late fifteenth centuries. This is one of five studies that Turner made from carefully selected viewpoints of the interior of the Minster; the other four are all in the contemporary Tweed and Lakes sketchbook (Tate D01075–D01078; Turner Bequest XXXV 73–76).
Verso:
Blank; stamped in brown ink with Turner Bequest monogram.
