This is a view of Teplitz in Bohemia (now Teplice in modern day Czech Republic), taken from the east as Turner ascended Schlossberg hill. From here the artist was afforded an expansive prospect of Teplitz’s principal buildings as well as the Königshöhe and Stefanshöhe hills.
For more sketches of the town see Tate D30315–D30335; Turner Bequest CCCI 10a–20a.
