Sul dipinto
Richard Redgrave (1804-1888) entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1826. During his lifetime he exhibited 141 works at the Royal Academy, 17 at the British Institute and 20 at the Society of British Artists. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1851. Redgrave began his official career in art education in 1847 when he became Master at the Government School of Design, by 1874 he held the post of Director. He was also Inspector of the Queen's Pictures and compiled a catalogue of the Royal Collection between 1857 and 1879.

This particular painting was exhibited at the British Institute in 1836. The view depicted appears to be from the north by Lambeth Bridge looking across to what is now the Albert Embankment. Redgrave seems to have forsaken topographical accuracy in making the right (north bank) appear more rural than it probably was, as well as eliminating Vauxhaul Bridge and the Penitentiary.
