Buildings
in the town
From the riverbank at Boppard Turner
produces quick sketches of the day-to-day work of people on the river. With great enthusiasm the artist captures characteristic
features of the town wall and records his impressions of the picturesque
buildings. In this watercolour, a sturdy
town tower and the adjacent wall provide the backdrop for the bustling activity
around a boat that is anchored there. In
the background we see the “twin towers” of the Church of St. Severus. This painting is an impressive example of how
Turner combines different perspectives (river scene and town view).
