5933865 View from Hampstead Heath, looking towards Harrow, 1821 (oil on paper) by Constable, John (1776-1837); 25x29.8 cm; Manchester Art Gallery, UK; (add.info.: Constable made around a hundred sketches of the sky from Hampstead Heath between 1820 and 1823. He referred to the practice as skying and saw it as an exercise in improving his ability to capture naturalistic effects. The artist was well read in the subject of meteorology, which underwent great advances in his day. On the back of this study he has scientifically noted August 1821 / 5 o clock afternoon: very fine / bright & wind after rain slightly / in the morning'. In other works his skies have a more symbolic meaning: they often consciously reflect the artist's state of mind.); © Manchester Art Gallery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Constable's "View from Hampstead Heath, looking towards Harrow" painted in 1821. The oil on paper artwork, measuring 25x29.8 cm, is housed at the esteemed Manchester Art Gallery in the United Kingdom. Constable was known for his fascination with capturing naturalistic effects and improving his ability to depict them accurately. He made numerous sketches of the sky from Hampstead Heath between 1820 and 1823, a practice he referred to as "skying". In this particular study, Constable scientifically noted the date as August 1821 at five o'clock in the afternoon. His observations included details about weather conditions such as brightness, wind patterns after rain earlier that day. While some of Constable's skies held symbolic meanings reflecting his state of mind, this piece focuses more on his dedication to studying meteorology and its advancements during his time. As a well-read artist in this subject matter, he sought to capture nature's ever-changing beauty through meticulous observation. The painting depicts a picturesque landscape with rolling hills stretching into the distance towards Harrow. The scene is bathed in sunlight after a refreshing summer rain shower—highlighting Constable's exceptional ability to portray light and scenic beauty. With its romantic undertones and exquisite attention to detail, this artwork stands as a testament to Constable's skill as both an artist and observer of nature's wonders.
