"A Scene from 'Description of a City Shower' by Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)" is an oil painting by the English artist Edward Penny, created in 1764. The artwork visually interprets the satirical poem "A Description of a City Shower," written by the renowned Anglo-Irish writer Jonathan Swift in 1710. Penny, a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts, was known for his genre paintings that often depicted scenes of everyday life with moral or social commentary.

The painting captures the moment described in Swift's poem when a sudden downpour surprises the inhabitants of London, causing a chaotic and humorous scene as people scramble to find shelter from the rain. Swift's poem is a commentary on the filth and squalor of city life, and Penny's interpretation reflects this through the detailed depiction of the characters' reactions and the muddy, wet streets.

Edward Penny's work is characterized by its fine attention to detail and its narrative quality, which is evident in this painting. The scene is rendered with a sense of immediacy, inviting viewers to engage with the social critique inherent in both the visual and literary works. "A Scene from 'Description of a City Shower'" is an example of the close relationship between art and literature in the 18th century, showcasing how painters like Penny drew inspiration from contemporary writers to create visual representations of literary themes.

The painting is significant for its historical context, as it provides insight into 18th-century London life and the concerns of the time. It also reflects the moralizing trend in art and literature, where artists and writers sought to reflect on and critique the society in which they lived. Edward Penny's work remains an important piece of British art history, exemplifying the genre painting of the period and the interplay between visual art and literature.
