Northumberland House is a 1752 landscape painting by the Italian artist Canaletto. Painted during his nine-year stay in Britain he depicts Northumberland House on the Strand by Charing Cross in London close to the location of the later Trafalgar Square.[1][2] Canaletto was commissioned by the Westminster property's owner Sir Hugh Smithson, later the Duke of Northumberland. Smithson was his most important patron during his time in England.[3] The work shows Northumberland House at the middle of the eighteenth century. On the right of the painting is Hubert Le Sueur's Equestrian statue of Charles I
