John CONSTABLE, Cloud study: evening [Study of clouds at evening] 31 August 1822
from National Gallery of Australia | Audio Tour | Constable Hosted by National Gallery of Australia
In this pure sky study Constable painted streets of cumulus clouds that lacked sufficient vertical depth to produce rain. He showed blue sky to the left with flakes of cirrostratus that suggest fine weather would follow. There is good agreement between Constable’s inscription and the weather records for the London area on that day, which noted a westerly air stream (Thornes 1999, p. 264).
