Catalogue entry
450. [N05539] A Vaulted Hall c. 1835
THE TATE GALLERY, LONDON (5539)
Mahogany, 29 1/2 × 36 (75 × 91·5)
Coll. Turner Bequest 1856 (150, one of ‘3 each (panel)’ 3'0" × 2'6"; identified 1946 by chalk number on back); transferred to the Tate Gallery 1947.
Exh. New York 1966 (16).
Lit. Davies 1946, pp. 167, 188 n. 15; Gowing 1966, p. 36; Wilton 1979, p. 210, pl. 221.
Distinct in size and the relative lack of colour from the Petworth interiors, Nos. 445–9, but probably of about the same date. Gowing sees its sombre tonality, handling and massive design as paralleling Snow-Storm, Avalanche and Inundation exhibited in 1837 (No. 371).
