"The Burning of the Houses of Parliament, 16th October 1834" is a series of paintings and sketches created by the eminent English Romantic artist Joseph Mallord William Turner in 1834-1835, with the final oil paintings completed in 1839. This series captures the catastrophic fire that engulfed the Houses of Parliament in London on the night of October 16, 1834, a historical event that drew vast crowds to witness the spectacle, including Turner himself.

Turner's fascination with the sublime and the powerful forces of nature is vividly expressed in these works, which are characterized by dramatic lighting and intense coloration. The paintings depict the raging inferno as it consumes the iconic buildings, with the flames reflecting off the River Thames and illuminating the night sky. Turner's use of swirling brushstrokes and his emphasis on the contrast between the fire's warmth and the coolness of the surrounding environment create a dynamic and immersive scene that conveys the chaos and intensity of the moment.

The series includes both watercolor sketches, which Turner used to capture the immediacy of the event, and more refined oil paintings that were later exhibited to the public. The most famous of these, exhibited at the British Institution in 1835, is now part of the collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Another significant painting from the series is held by the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Turner's "The Burning of the Houses of Parliament" is not only a masterful representation of a historical event but also a poignant commentary on the transience of human achievements in the face of nature's overwhelming power. The works are celebrated for their innovative approach to landscape painting and remain a testament to Turner's enduring legacy as one of Britain's greatest artists.
