"Tells Chapel, Lake Lucerne, c.1841" is a watercolor painting by the renowned British artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851). This artwork is part of a series of Swiss landscapes that Turner created, reflecting his fascination with the sublime beauty of the Swiss Alps and their environs. The painting depicts a scene from Lake Lucerne, also known as the Lake of the Four Cantons, which is a central feature in the folklore and history of Switzerland.

The chapel in the title refers to the Tellskapelle, which is dedicated to the legendary Swiss folk hero William Tell, a symbol of Swiss independence and resistance against oppression. According to legend, Tell was forced to shoot an apple off his son's head and later played a pivotal role in the rebellion against the Austrian rulers. The chapel stands at the site where Tell is said to have leaped from his captors' boat to shore to escape.

Turner's work captures the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of his later works, where he employed luminous color and atmospheric effects to convey mood and emotion. The painting is characterized by its loose brushwork and the artist's innovative use of color to render the natural phenomena of the Swiss landscape. Turner's visit to the Swiss Alps in the early 1840s inspired a number of works that showcase his mature style, where he increasingly abstracted forms to focus on the essence of the landscape and the transient effects of light and weather.

"Tells Chapel, Lake Lucerne, c.1841" is a testament to Turner's mastery of the watercolor medium and his enduring interest in capturing the essence of the natural world. It is a significant work within Turner's oeuvre, illustrating his contribution to the Romantic movement and his influence on the development of landscape painting. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a representation of Turner's engagement with the cultural and historical narratives of the places he painted.
