"Newcastle on Tyne" is a watercolor painting by the English artist Thomas Girtin, created in 1799. The artwork is notable for its depiction of the industrial landscape of Newcastle upon Tyne, a city in the northeast of England, during the late 18th century. Girtin was renowned for his ability to capture the atmospheric effects of light and weather, and this painting is a prime example of his mastery in rendering the interplay between the natural and the industrial environment.

The painting showcases Girtin's innovative approach to watercolor, moving away from the traditional tinted drawings to a more expressive and bold use of the medium. "Newcastle on Tyne" features a panoramic view of the city, with a particular focus on the River Tyne and the various bridges that cross it, including the famous Tyne Bridge. The industrial buildings, smoking chimneys, and bustling river traffic are rendered with a sense of dynamism and vitality that reflects the economic vigor of the city during the Industrial Revolution.

Thomas Girtin was a contemporary and close rival of J.M.W. Turner, and the two artists were instrumental in elevating the status of watercolor as a serious artistic medium. "Newcastle on Tyne" is considered one of Girtin's most accomplished works and is often cited as a key example of early Romantic landscape painting in Britain. The painting is not only significant for its artistic qualities but also as a historical record of the urban and industrial development of Newcastle upon Tyne at the turn of the 19th century.

Today, "Newcastle on Tyne" is held in high regard by art historians and is part of the collection of the Tate Gallery in London. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of the changing face of Britain during a pivotal moment in its history.
