England: Richmond Hill, on the Prince Regent's Birthday is an 1819 painting by the English artist J. M. W.
[1] It was displayed at the 1819 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition at Somerset House, the largest work that Turner had yet presented.
[3] Turner's biographer James Hamilton describes it as featuring "flighty Watteauesque figures, ideal evanescent trees, and a horizon so extended as to be unreal".
[5] He did subsequently receive his only royal commission for the naval painting The Battle of Trafalgar in 1822.
After completing the work Turner embarked on a lengthy visit to Italy which significantly altered his style concerning the use of light.
