| Click on image for original size. A Study of Clouds John Constable, RA September 5, 1822 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
The famed artist John Constable (1776-1837) wrote in 1822 that he had finished: “about 50 careful studies of skies tolerably large.” Here we see one of them—dating to September 5, 1822.
The reverse of this work of oil paint on paper is inscribed: “Looking S.E. noon. Wind very brisk. & effect bright & fresh. Clouds. moving very fast. With occasional very bright openings to the blue.”
