"Burning of the Houses of Parliament" is a series of oil paintings by the English Romantic artist Joseph Mallord William Turner. Created in the mid-19th century, these works depict the catastrophic fire that engulfed the Houses of Parliament in London on the night of October 16, 1834. Turner, renowned for his expressive colorization and imaginative landscapes, witnessed the event firsthand and captured the dramatic intensity and chaotic energy of the blaze in his art.

The series includes several paintings and numerous sketches, with two of the most notable oil paintings being exhibited in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art. Turner's fascination with the interplay of light and color is evident in these works, as he conveys the fire's luminosity against the darkened London sky. The paintings are characterized by vigorous brushwork and a palette dominated by fiery reds, oranges, and yellows, contrasted with the deep blues and blacks of the River Thames and the night sky.

Turner's "Burning of the Houses of Parliament" stands as a significant historical record of the event, as well as a testament to his skill in rendering nature's sublime power. The works are also emblematic of the Romantic era's preoccupation with dramatic events and the transience of human achievements in the face of nature's overwhelming forces. These paintings are not only important for their historical subject matter but also for their contribution to the development of modern art, as they exemplify Turner's innovative approach to light and his influence on the Impressionist movement that would follow.

The "Burning of the Houses of Parliament" series continues to be celebrated for its artistic and cultural significance, offering insight into both the historical event and Turner's evolving artistic vision during a pivotal period in his career.
