The Junction of the Thames and the Medway
Joseph Mallord William Turner
1807
The Junction of the Thames and the Medway is an 1807 landscape painting by the British artist J.M.W. Turner that depicts a meeting of the River Thames and the tributary the River Medway. Like many of Turner's nautical works of his early career it shows the influence of seventeenth century Dutch seascapes.
The work was one of a number of paintings that Turner displayed in his own studio gallery at Queen Anne Street in Marylebone rather than the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition.
