More about this artwork

Experience the evocative atmosphere of John Constable's oil sketch "A View at Hampstead with Stormy Weather," which captures a dynamic vista enriched by a tempestuous sky and deeply shaded foliage. This painting, created around 1830, offers a glimpse into Constable’s profound affection for English landscapes and his superior skill in conveying the ephemeral moods of nature.In this piece, the viewer’s eye is immediately drawn to the tumultuous sky, where hues of pink, coral, and dark grey swirl together, suggesting a storm in restless progression. This atmospheric turmoil contrasts intensely with the vibrant greens and deep browns of the lush trees that dominate the foreground, embodying a typical English countryside.The scene is further enriched with intriguing details: slender trees bending against the wind, and hints of human presence slightly obscured by the elements, inviting viewers to ponder the transient nature of human activities against the enduring force of nature.This artwork not only illustrates Constable’s masterful use of color and texture to evoke emotion but also reflects his continuous exploration of nature's tempos and its impact on the landscape.

John Constable RA was an English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for revolutionising the genre of landscape painting with his pictures of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home – now known as "Constable Country" – which he invested with an intensity of affection. "I should paint my own places best", he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, "painting is but another word for feeling".
