Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows

John Constable’s "Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows," completed in 1831, depicts the iconic cathedral set against a dramatic sky, following a storm. The scene captures the cathedral's towering spire bathed in a break of light amidst a turbulent sky, symbolizing both reverence and a spiritual calm after adversity. In the foreground, a swollen river flows under a darkened sky, while a rainbow arcs through the clearing clouds, introducing a sense of hope and renewal. Constable meticulously portrays the lush English countryside, from the rich greenery of the meadows to the detailed structure of the cathedral itself. The painting is imbued with both the grandeur of the natural landscape and the enduring presence of human creation, reflecting Constable's deep emotional connection to the rural scenery and his mastery of capturing the changing atmosphere.
