"Durham Cathedral" is a watercolor painting by the English artist Thomas Girtin, created in 1799. The artwork is renowned for its portrayal of the medieval cathedral located in Durham, England, and is considered one of Girtin's masterpieces, exemplifying his skill in capturing architectural subjects with atmospheric effects. The painting is part of a series of watercolors that Girtin produced during his travels across England, which contributed significantly to the development of landscape painting in Britain.

Measuring 47 x 68 cm, "Durham Cathedral" depicts the imposing structure of the cathedral from a distance, with an emphasis on the play of light and shadow, and the reflection of the building on the River Wear below. Girtin's use of color and his innovative approach to watercolor painting are evident in this work, where he employs a limited palette to create a sense of depth and volume, while also conveying the mood and weather conditions of the scene.

The painting is notable for its dramatic perspective and the way Girtin captures the grandeur and solidity of the cathedral against the transient effects of light and atmosphere. This approach marked a departure from the more topographical and detailed representations of architecture that were common at the time, and it influenced subsequent generations of British landscape artists, including J.M.W. Turner, who was a contemporary and admirer of Girtin's work.

"Durham Cathedral" by Thomas Girtin is held in high esteem by art historians and critics for its artistic significance and contribution to the Romantic movement in art. The painting is housed in a prominent public collection, allowing it to be viewed and studied by the public and scholars alike.
