Stonehenge Watercolour, 38.7 x 59.1 cm, by John Constable, 1835 Victoria and Albert Museum, London |
||||||||||
| A melancholic scene of Stonehenge as a circle of weathered and fallen stones spread across a desolate plain, highlighting the monument’s gradual decay. A turbulent sky of dark blues and greys hangs above, with streaks of pale light breaking through the heavy clouds. The subdued earth tones and the sense of isolation in the landscape deepen the mood of quiet sorrow and reflection on the passage of time. |
