Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows

A spectacular full-sized oil sketch, a study for the definitive monumental painting in which Constable added a rainbow. A dramatic subject reminiscent of Cuyp’s Dordrecht in a Storm, which Constable called 'truly sublime'.

John Constable, Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows, c. 1829-1830, Canvas, 135.8 x 188 cm, London, Guildhall Art Gallery
