オールド・サラムからの眺望
1829
John Constable sketched this sweeping view from the ancient hill fort of Old Sarum in July 1829, a deeply personal trip following the death of his wife Maria. Known for his lush oil paintings of the English countryside, here he uses quick, energetic pencil strokes to capture the vast, windswept plains of Wiltshire stretching out to the horizon. The sketch feels almost like a visual diary entry, recording the raw, rugged beauty of the ruins where he sought solace. It’s a perfect example of Romanticism’s love for dramatic landscapes and emotional connection to nature.
