Crossing the Brook is a landscape painting. It was made by J.M.W. Turner in 1815. The painting depicts a view towards Plymouth down the Tamar valley. Turner gave the English countryside an Italianate look, which is interesting. He produced it based on sketches he had made during a trip to Devon in 1813.
