The Opening of Waterloo Bridge 

"The Opening of Waterloo Bridge" depicts a lively scene on the River Thames in London. Painted by the English Romantic artist John Constable, the painting captures a moment of celebration as the new Waterloo Bridge is opened to the public. Though Constable is best known for his landscape paintings, this work showcases his ability to capture the bustle of urban life. The scene is dominated by a multitude of boats filled with people, showcasing the excitement surrounding the opening of the bridge. The composition, however, remains centered on the bridge itself, highlighting its importance as a landmark.
