<p>This watercolour was made on a large sheet of paper that Turner had folded to give him multiple sides to sketch on. He later tore it down to separate his sketches. The meandering River Regen leads our eye from the cemetery in the foreground to the city of Regensburg on the right. To the left of the horizon is a white dot on a purple hill. This is the Walhalla, a huge patriotic monument to German culture. It was under construction at this time. Turner would later exhibit a painting that imagined its grand opening.</p><p><em>Gallery label, October 2023</em></p>
