Inspired by a visit Cooke had made in 1836, it was one of as many as eight paintings he produced depicting the view. The painting was displayed at the 1838 exhibition held by the British Institution in Pall Mall. [4] It was acquired by the art collector John Sheepshanks. Today it is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, having been part of the large gift of paintings he donated in 1857. [5]
