Tell’s Chapel, Lake Lucerne 1841

"Tell’s Chapel, Lake Lucerne" is a watercolor painting by the renowned English artist Joseph Mallord William Turner, created in 1841. The work showcases Turner's signature style of capturing atmospheric effects and light. The painting depicts a tranquil scene of a lake nestled amidst towering mountain peaks, with a small chapel on the left side. The light is soft and diffused, creating a hazy, ethereal ambiance, which is characteristic of Turner's later works. This painting exemplifies Turner's transition from his earlier landscapes to a more abstract and suggestive style.
