Aggregate cumulus in different stages, 1803-1811
UIG5102122 Aggregate cumulus in different stages, 1803-1811 by Howard, Luke (1772-1864); (add.info.: Aggregate cumulus in different stages, 1803-1811. Blue and buff wash cloud study by Luke Howard FRS. Ordering and classification were important features of Enlightenment science. Fascinated since childhood by the weather, and clouds in particular, Luke Howard (1772-1864) classified and named different cloud types between 1803 and 1811, providing sketches for these later illustrations. His work is believed to have influenced many of the landscape painters of the Romantic era, including Turner and Constable. Although never trained as a scientist, Howard's contribution to the developing science of meteorology led to him being made a fellow of the Royal Society in 1821. His terminology and symbols are still largely used to describe clouds today. On loan to the Science Museum from the Royal Meteorological Society. ©SSPL/Royal Meteorological Society); SSPL/UIG

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aggregate cumulus in different stages, 1803-1811" by Luke Howard takes us on a journey through the ever-changing beauty of clouds. In this blue and buff wash cloud study, Howard showcases his meticulous observations and passion for meteorology during the Enlightenment era. Luke Howard's fascination with weather, particularly clouds, led him to classify and name various cloud types between 1803 and 1811. His sketches served as references for later illustrations like this one, which became influential to renowned landscape painters of the Romantic era such as Turner and Constable. Despite lacking formal scientific training, Luke Howard's significant contributions to meteorology earned him recognition from the Royal Society in 1821 when he was made a fellow. His terminology and symbols continue to be widely used today in describing clouds. Displayed at the Science Museum on loan from the Royal Meteorological Society, this print serves as a testament to Luke Howard's enduring legacy. The image captures aggregate cumulus clouds at different stages of formation, showcasing their ethereal beauty against a serene backdrop. As we gaze upon this artwork by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how nature's wonders can inspire both artistry and scientific inquiry. It is a visual reminder that even amidst our modern understanding of weather patterns, there is still much awe-inspiring mystery left within these seemingly ordinary formations above us.
