Title: I Love Constable. Post by: leefer on Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 18:21:11 [url width=598 height=480]http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad185/swindon123/Constable_Salisbury_Cathedral_from_the_Meadows_1831.jpg[/url]
After a visit to the great Cathedral last week(brilliant by the way) i was suprised to learn that the great John Constable did some nice works on Salisbury,usually in Norfolk and Suffolk his work is used to be seen. Not suprisingly he manages to get his trademark Cart in the picture.....painted from Salisbury Meadows in 1831. http://www.shafe.co.uk/art/john_constable-_salisbury_cathedral_from_the_meadows-_1831.asp Anyone else like Constable now? :D Title: Re: I Love Constable.

See the constables in the corner of the room that just happens to contain my favourite Turners (Fighting Temeraire is amazing) and whisper to myself under my breath "Westcountry, na na na, westcountry, na na na"
I wonder what would happen if Constable tried to 'do' a Constable... |
