A reproduction of a work by John Constable, “Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows” of 1831. The artist was a native of Suffolk who died in 1837 at the age of sixty-one years. He is one of the greatest English landscape painters but did not become recognized until he was elected to the Royal Academy at the age of fifty-two. He struggled financially until then with his works selling better in France than in England. This s one of his last major works and displays the great cathedral from the northwest; the rainbow is a late addition to the painting which is in a private collection.
