Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows
The artist
John Constable, an English painter known for big, dramatic skies over the countryside.
What you see
The tall stone cathedral rises across green meadows under stormy clouds, with a bright rainbow arching over it.
The story
Constable painted this view in 1831 during a sad time in his life, and the clearing storm and rainbow show hope returning.
The style
He filled the sky with swirling dark clouds and quick brushstrokes so you can almost feel the wind and fresh rain.
Look closer
Look for the horse and cart crossing the shallow river in the front, and the dog watching from the bank.
Where to see it
You can see it at the Tate gallery in London, England.
Fun fact
The spire of Salisbury Cathedral is the tallest in all of Britain, and it still points to the sky today.
