Description

Constable's Skies celebrates John Constable's enduring fascination with the sky. His paintings often feature skies as the main focus, with the landscape beneath largely absent. This is evident in works such as The Hay Wain and Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows, as well as his numerous cloud studies. The book brings together Constable's depictions of English weather from throughout his career, showcasing the unprecedented fidelity of his painted skies. Contemporary weather diaries provide evidence of the accuracy of these representations. A guide to finding Constable's work around the world is also included. Written by a leading authority on John Constable's work, this book features beautiful images and offers insight into the artist's unique approach to capturing the sky in his paintings.
