Founded in 1546 by King Henry VIII, Christ Church has a rich history and is known for its impressive architecture, including the Tom Tower, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and the Great Hall, which has inspired numerous works of art and literature. Turner's depiction of Christ Church captures the grandeur and historical significance of the institution, while also showcasing his ability to render light and shadow with remarkable precision.

It reflects his deep appreciation for the English landscape and architecture, themes that would continue to dominate his oeuvre throughout his life.
