Dieppe from the North-East

Turner painted this bird’s-eye view of the harbor in the small hamlet of Le Pollet, perched atop a cliff that looks across the water to the Quai Henri IV, Dieppe’s main artery. He had made sketches from this vista on previous visits to the port. Rising above the band of buildings that enclose the harbor’s basin are two of the city’s historic landmarks: the church of St. Jacques and the Château de Dieppe, on the right.
