Painting by J. M. W. Turner
The Funeral of Sir Thomas Lawrence is an 1830 watercolour painting by the British artist J. M. W. Turner. It depicts the funeral at St. Paul's Cathedral in London of Sir Thomas Lawrence, the President of the Royal Academy and a friend and colleague of Turner. Lawrence died unexpectedly in January, and the painting captures the snow-covered landscape of his burial ceremony. Turner served as one of the pallbearers and sketched the scene from memory.[1] It was exhibited at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition.[2] It was later part of the 1856 Turner Bequest as is now in the collection of the Tate Britain.[3]
