Constable and Salisbury

Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, Wiltshire
20 May –
25 September 2011

John Constable (1776 – 1837) made more paintings and drawings in and around Salisbury than of any other area, apart from his native Stour Valley.

Pencil drawings and sketches in oil and watercolour will be on show, as well as finished oil paintings and watercolours. The climax of the exhibition will be the 1831 Salisbury Cathedral from the meadows, lent from a private collection.
