"Norham Castle, Sunrise" is an oil-on-canvas landscape painting by J. M. W. Turner, created around 1845. It captures Norham Castle—overlooking the River Tweed, the border between England and Scotland—at dawn, showcasing Turner's mastery of the predawn Romanticism style. Known for his attention to dawn light and the softened silhouette, the work exemplifies his later "Modernist" period. Now part of the Turner Bequest, it was bequeathed to the National Gallery of British Art in 1856 and remains in their collection today, celebrated for its evocative atmosphere and luminous imagery.
