UIG5062548 Rural landscape and cloud study by Luke Howard, c 1808-1811 by Howard, Luke (1772-1864); Science Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: Rural landscape and cloud study by Luke Howard, c 1808-1811. Watercolour sketch by Edward Kennion, with cloud studies by Luke Howard. This plate shows cumulostratus forming; fine weather cirri above. Ordering and classification were important features of Enlightenment science. Fascinated since childhood by the weather, and clouds in particular, Luke Howard classified and named different cloud types between 1803 and 1811, providing sketches for these later illustrations. His work has influenced many of the landscape painters of the Romantic era, including Turner and Constable. Although he was a pharmacist, his contribution to the developing science of meteorology led to Howard being made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1821. His terminology and symbols are still largely used to describe clouds today. ©SSPL/Science Museum); SSPL/UIG

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning rural landscape and cloud study by Luke Howard, created between 1808 and 1811. The artwork, originally a watercolour sketch by Edward Kennion with cloud studies by Luke Howard, is housed in the Science Museum in London, UK. Luke Howard's fascination with weather and clouds began during his childhood. Between 1803 and 1811, he dedicated himself to classifying and naming various cloud types, providing sketches for later illustrations like this one. His work greatly influenced landscape painters of the Romantic era such as Turner and Constable. The plate depicted in this print captures the formation of 'cumulostratus' clouds with fine weather cirri above them. It exemplifies the importance of ordering and classification within Enlightenment science. Despite being a pharmacist by profession, Luke Howard's significant contributions to meteorology led him to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1821. His terminology and symbols for describing clouds are still widely used today. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this masterpiece from Fine Art Finder, allowing viewers to appreciate Luke Howard's profound impact on both art and science. This print serves as a reminder of how nature can inspire creativity while advancing our understanding of the world around us.
