EDITORS COMMENTS
John Constable's captivating painting of Stonehenge, Wiltshire, created in 1835, invites us to ponder the mysteries of this prehistoric site. The atmospheric scene, bequeathed to the Victoria and Albert Museum by Miss Isabel Constable, showcases the iconic stone circle bathed in the soft light of a misty morning. The sarsen and bluestones, standing tall against the backdrop of rolling hills, appear both mysterious and mystical. Constable masterfully captures the mood of the Neolithic monument, with the enigmatic sky above adding to the sense of wonder. The painting invites us to imagine the stories and legends that have surrounded Stonehenge for centuries. The intrigue and allure of this famous site, shrouded in prehistory, continues to captivate us. Constable's masterpiece, painted in oil on canvas, is a testament to the power of nature and the enduring fascination with the unknown. The painting is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and the awe that Stonehenge continues to inspire in us today. The painting, dated February 17, 1835, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists within the United Kingdom and the importance of preserving and celebrating it for future generations. Constable's Stonehenge, Wiltshire, is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or the natural world.
