Constable often worked outdoors, sketching and painting directly from nature. Imagine if Constable chose to paint this scene on a clear, cloudless day. How might the painting look different? On view in the West Building, Main Floor, Gallery 57. <a href="http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=1147" title="http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=1147" rel="nofollow">http://www.nga.gov/fcgi-bin/tinfo_f?object=1147</a></p> <p>-----</p> <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/wivenhoe-park-essex-1816-john-constable" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/ngadc/wivenhoe-park-essex-1816-john-constable#comments English Painting European Painting For Kids John Constable Landscape Painting Painting Learning to Look National Gallery of Art, Washington http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/3d/3d9bb369a78f40fb/poster-image-10.jpg 3d9bb369a78f40fb Tue, 11 Oct 2011 17:39:52 +0000 s-sarraf 8841 at http://artbabble.org
