Bridgnorth is a 1850 watercolor by Joseph Mallord William Turner, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a wide, rolling landscape with a winding river cutting through green hills. The sky is mostly cloudy, with patches of light breaking through. On the right side, a rocky cliff juts out, while the rest of the scene is made up of fields and distant hills fading into the horizon. The artist used soft watercolor strokes to blend colors, making the scene look airy and distant. The light areas in the sky contrast with the darker hills, giving the painting a gentle mood.
