この絵画について
'Cliveden on Thames is a c.1807 landscape painting by the British artist J.M.W. Turner. It depicts a view on the River Thames at Cliveden in Buckinghamshire., a location associated with the premier of the patriotic song Rule Britannia. Turner, frequently took his boat along the river to record scenes of the English countryside during the decade.
Rather than submit the painting to the Summer Exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts, Turner displayed it at his own studio in Queen Anne Street in Marylebone. When the American-born President of the Royal Academy Benjamin West visited to view it and other pictures he described himself as "disgusted with what he found there; views on the Thames, crude blotches, nothing could be more vicious".

Today the painting is on the collection of the Tate Britain in Pimlico, having been bequeathed to the National Gallery in 1885 and subsequently transferred to the Tate in 1912.

その頃、Joseph Mallord William Turnerの人生では
生涯をすべて見るsummer 1805
Summer 1805: along the Thames
In the summer of 1805 he systematically sketched places along much of the Thames, from Oxford to the Thames Estuary; these intense months of observation so inspired him that for the next five or six years he presented many river-themed paintings in each of his annual gallery shows, based on his sketchbooks.
1806–1819
Work on the “Liber Studiorum”
For nearly twelve years he worked on about 70 mezzotints — the “Book of Studies”, inspired by Claude’s Liber Veritatis and meant as a manifesto of British landscape art; commercially it failed because of poor handling of sales and distribution, but it did elevate the prestige of landscape painting.
1807–1811
A floating studio at Hammersmith
Inspired by the Thames, he rented houses on or very near the river: in Isleworth (1804–1806) and in Hammersmith (1807–1811), where he converted a boat into a floating studio; fishing and boating were two of his favourite activities.
1808–1824
Summers at Walter Fawkes’s Farnley Hall
From 1808 to 1824 he stayed many summers at Farnley Hall near Otley in Yorkshire with its owner Walter Fawkes, becoming almost part of the family, with a room assigned for his exclusive use.
