<p>On his way to Germany in 1839, Turner passed through Brussels and Louvain, sketching as he went. This view of the</p><p>Town Hall and St. Peter's Church in Louvain shows his interest in Belgian architecture.</p><p>However, German cities and architecture played a more important part in Turner's working life. His interest began with his first visit to the Rhineland in 1817, at the age of forty-two, and continued until the publication of the large engravings of Ehrenbreitstein and Heidelberg in 1846, five years before his death.</p><p><em>Gallery label, August 2004</em></p>
