''The Blue Rigi: Lake of Lucerne - Sunrise'' is a celebrated watercolor painting by the eminent British artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851). Created in 1842, this artwork is part of a series in which Turner explored the atmospheric effects and transient light of the Swiss Alps, particularly around Lake Lucerne. The painting is renowned for its masterful depiction of the interplay between light and color, capturing the serene and ephemeral quality of the sunrise over the mountainous landscape.

Measuring 29.7 x 45 cm, ''The Blue Rigi'' is characterized by its subtle gradations of color and Turner's innovative use of watercolor techniques, which allowed him to achieve a remarkable sense of depth and luminosity. The work is named after the Rigi, a mountain in central Switzerland, which is bathed in a cool blue hue in the painting, suggesting the early morning light. Turner's fascination with the natural world and his ability to convey its beauty and dynamism are evident in this piece, which is often cited as one of the finest examples of his late watercolors.

Turner's visit to Switzerland in 1841 inspired a number of works featuring the Rigi, including ''The Red Rigi'' and ''The Dark Rigi'', each reflecting different times of day and atmospheric conditions. ''The Blue Rigi'' stands out for its poetic and tranquil representation of the dawn, showcasing Turner's skill in rendering the subtleties of light and the sublime aspects of nature.

The painting has a storied provenance, having been sold at auction multiple times, and at one point it was at risk of being sold to an overseas buyer. However, a successful campaign led by the Tate Gallery in London secured the work for the British public in 2007. ''The Blue Rigi'' is now held in the Tate collection and remains a testament to Turner's enduring legacy as one of the foremost landscape painters of the 19th century and a precursor to Impressionism.
