"Buttermere Lake: A Shower" is a landscape painting by the renowned British artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851). Created in 1798, this work is part of Turner's early exploration of the sublime in nature and his fascination with the interplay of light and atmospheric effects on the landscape. The painting depicts a scene at Buttermere, a lake in the English Lake District, Cumbria, known for its serene beauty and dramatic surroundings.

The artwork captures a moment when a shower passes over the lake, showcasing Turner's skill in rendering the transient effects of weather on the environment. The composition is characterized by a dramatic contrast between the dark, brooding storm clouds and the sunlit areas of the landscape. Turner's use of light and color to convey mood and atmosphere is evident in the way he illustrates the rain shower's impact on the lake's surface and the surrounding mountains.

Measuring 31 x 41 cm, "Buttermere Lake: A Shower" is executed in watercolor, a medium in which Turner excelled and which allowed him to achieve a remarkable degree of luminosity and transparency. The painting is noted for its delicate brushwork and subtle gradations of tone, which contribute to the overall sense of depth and realism in the scene.

As a work from Turner's early period, "Buttermere Lake: A Shower" demonstrates the artist's emerging style and his departure from the more rigid conventions of topographical accuracy towards a more expressive and personal interpretation of the landscape. The painting is an example of Turner's lifelong interest in the forces of nature and his ability to capture the essence of a place through his innovative techniques.

"Buttermere Lake: A Shower" is part of Turner's extensive oeuvre of landscape paintings that celebrate the natural beauty of the British Isles. It reflects the Romantic era's emphasis on the power and majesty of nature, as well as the human emotional response to it. The work is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the development of landscape painting and its embodiment of Turner's artistic vision.
