"Westminster Bridge and the Burning of the Houses of Parliament from Lambeth" is a notable painting by the British artist Thomas Luny, who is renowned for his maritime and landscape works. This painting captures a dramatic historical event—the catastrophic fire that engulfed the Houses of Parliament in London on the night of October 16, 1834. The fire, which started due to the careless disposal of tally sticks in the furnace under the House of Lords, resulted in the near-total destruction of the medieval Palace of Westminster, sparing only a few structures, including Westminster Hall.

Luny's depiction of this event is particularly significant as it provides a visual documentation of one of the most devastating fires in London's history. The painting is viewed from Lambeth, across the River Thames, offering a panoramic perspective that includes Westminster Bridge in the foreground. The bridge, an architectural marvel of its time, serves as a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction unfolding in the background. The flames and smoke are rendered with dramatic intensity, highlighting the scale of the disaster and the vulnerability of the iconic Gothic architecture.

Thomas Luny, who lived from 1759 to 1837, had a prolific career despite suffering from severe arthritis in his later years. His ability to capture the essence of maritime and urban scenes with meticulous detail and emotional depth is evident in this work. "Westminster Bridge and the Burning of the Houses of Parliament from Lambeth" not only showcases Luny's technical skill but also serves as a historical record, immortalizing a pivotal moment in London's architectural and political history. The painting is a testament to Luny's enduring legacy as an artist who could convey both the grandeur and the tragedy of his subjects.
