Samuel Scott's "The Building of Westminster Bridge" (1722-1772) is a captivating depiction of the construction of the iconic bridge in London. This meticulous oil painting showcases Scott's expertise in capturing the details of both architectural construction and the bustling river traffic of the era. The painting's realistic portrayal and panoramic perspective of the scene have cemented its place in art history as a valuable record of London's 18th-century urban development. The use of light and shadow, along with the serene yet active river scene, makes this a particularly striking example of 18th-century British landscape painting.
