John Constable - "Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Garden"

 

One of three paintings of the same scene by Constable.  I believe the above is hanging in the Frick. Others are at the V&A and the São Paulo Museum of Art.   

See Tally-Ho, Cornelius! for commentary (p 107-8). The version that is the subject of my remarks (portrayed as a dialogue between the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Cornelius the Postmodern Divine and his little friend Cappy) is the full-scale study at the MET.
