    United Kingdom
    This landscape of the Thames River in London, England is by renowned American painter James McNeill Whistler. Whistler captures a dark, gloomy night on the Thames with a far-off cityscape barely visible in the distance. It is possible this cityscape is Battersea, a district in south London, and that Whistler was painting from across the Thames in Chelsea. The tower at center is likely Morgan's Folly, an old clock tower.
