Incendio a Londra, visto da Hampstead
John Constable watched the Houses of Parliament burn in 1834 from miles away in Hampstead, and he immediately grabbed his paints to capture the spectacular disaster. The sky is dramatically split between the fiery red glow of the blaze on the left and the cool, moonlit clouds on the right, creating a stunning contrast. This energetic sketch shows his incredible ability to capture fleeting atmospheric effects, a hallmark of his Romantic style.
