"Gateway to the Close, Salisbury" is a watercolor painting by the renowned English artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851). Created in 1797, this artwork is part of a series of topographical and architectural studies that Turner executed during his early career. The painting depicts the North Gate of the Cathedral Close in Salisbury, Wiltshire, a city that Turner visited multiple times and which inspired several of his works.

Measuring 30.2 x 47 cm, the painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to architectural detail and its subtle use of light and shadow, which reflects Turner's mastery in capturing the essence of the English landscape and built heritage. The North Gate, also known as the High Street Gate, is shown from the city side, leading into the Cathedral Close, with the spire of Salisbury Cathedral visible in the background.

Turner's interest in Salisbury and its cathedral was part of a broader fascination with medieval and Gothic architecture, which was common among artists and intellectuals of the Romantic period. His works from this period often explore the interplay between historical structures and the natural environment, a theme that would continue to influence his later, more expressive landscapes.

"Gateway to the Close, Salisbury" is held in a private collection and has been exhibited on various occasions, contributing to the understanding of Turner's development as an artist and his exploration of light, color, and form. The painting is a testament to Turner's early proficiency in watercolor and his lifelong dedication to capturing the transient effects of light on the landscape and architecture of Britain.
