John Constable's Hampstead by John Hyman

John Hyman is Grote Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Logic. You can find out more about him here (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/philosophy/people/professor-john-hyman). The great English landscape painter John Constable lived in Hampstead for the last ten years of his life, and painted a series of beautiful skyscapes—pure studies of clouds—on Hampstead Heath. In this podcast, I talk about his paintings and the way he thought about his art, especially it’s relationship with science, and I visit the main places in Hampstead he is associated with—the Heath, his home in Well Walk, and his tomb in the parish cemetery.
