"Bow and Arrow Castle, Isle of Portland" is a watercolor painting by the renowned English Romantic artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851). Created in 1845, this artwork is part of a series of picturesque views that Turner produced during his extensive travels across the United Kingdom. The painting depicts the rugged landscape of the Isle of Portland, located off the coast of Dorset in the English Channel.

The Isle of Portland is known for its rich maritime history and its distinctive limestone, which has been used in many of London's most famous buildings, including St. Paul's Cathedral. Bow and Arrow Castle, also known as Rufus Castle or Bow and Arrow Castle, is a small, partially ruined castle on the island that dates back to the late 11th or early 12th century. It is named for its narrow, pointed windows, which resemble the shape of a bow and arrow.

Turner's work captures the dramatic scenery of the castle ruins perched atop the rugged cliffs, overlooking the sea. His masterful use of light and color conveys the atmospheric conditions of the coastal scene, with the vast sky and the turbulent ocean waters reflecting the transient effects of weather and light. The painting is a testament to Turner's skill in rendering natural landscapes and his ability to evoke a sense of place and history.

"Bow and Arrow Castle, Isle of Portland" is characteristic of Turner's late style, where he employed looser brushwork and a more abstracted form of representation. This approach allowed him to focus on the emotional and sublime qualities of the landscape, rather than on precise topographical details.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of Turner's landscape oeuvre and his influence on the development of British art. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and as a representation of Turner's enduring fascination with the natural world and historical sites.
