Painting Tower Bridge in 2000: Artist Stephen B. Whatley

Artist Stephen B. Whatley on location in London painting Tower Bridge; here working on interpreting moored boats on the River Thames.

 

The painting was one of 30 paintings commissioned by the Tower of London and Pool of London Partnership - which are all permanently reproduced throughout Tower Hill Underpass, the main entrance portal to the Tower of London. The expressionist paintings commemorate the history of the Tower of London and its environment .

 

Stephen B. Whatley whose work has been published in TIME magazine, was commissioned to paint the series in 2000; and since 2001, the series has lit up the walkway that also leads to Tower Bridge, forming a permanent public art exhibit outside Tower Hill Underground Station, seen by the tourists who flock to London's Number 1 tourist attraction every day.
