From the collection of Ashmolean Museum
King's Mill on the Cherwell is a 1835 unspecified by William Turner, held at Ashmolean Museum.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a mill situated on the river Cherwell. The mill's stone structure is surrounded by lush greenery, with trees and bushes in the foreground and background. A figure stands in a boat, facing the mill, while another figure is partially visible near the water's edge. The sky above is filled with clouds, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. In the foreground, the artist has included several details that add depth to the scene. The boat, for instance, appears to be made of wood, with visible planks and a simple design. The figure standing in the boat is dressed in dark clothing, which contrasts with the lighter tones of the surrounding landscape. The overall effect is one of peacefulness, inviting the viewer to step into the idyllic world depicted in the painting. For more on the artist behind this work, explore the art of William Turner.
