The Tower Of London, Norman Wilkinson CBE RI (1878 - 1971)

This painting by Wilkinson is entitled 'The Tower of London' and while the amount of canvas taken up by this specific monument is relatively little, it is still undoubtedly the draw of the image. Sat on the norther bank of the thames The Tower of London is one of London's most recognisable buildings and international tourist destinations.

Since Norman Wilkinson initial sketch for this work, the skyline of the north bank, just left to the Tower of London, has altered greatly. This change is expediently captured by the numerous cranes that punctuate this work. It is important to note that to this day The Tower of London itself remains noticeably unchanged.
