A View of the Archbishop's Palace, Lambeth is a 1790 landscape painting by the British artist J. M. W. Turner. Produced when Turner was a fifteen-year-old student at the Royal Academy Schools. A watercolour it features the Swan Inn in the foreground with Lambeth Palace, the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, behind it. The profit Turner may have user it to display his talents in perspective, something more experienced painters often struggled to accomplish.[1]

The painting was submitted to the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1790 at Somerset House in London. It marked the first public display of Turner's work. He would have a lengthy association with the Royal Academy with his final submissions shown at the 1850 Exhibition.

Today the painting is in the Indianapolis Museum of Art in Indiana, having been acquired in 1972.[2]
