Hampstead Heath, Looking Toward Harrow

Discussion

FROM THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART’S CATALOG

Constable was interested in the changing light effects of weather and often worked outdoors, making swift oil sketches on paper. He focused on painting the countryside of his native England, which he never left. He wrote to a fellow artist that he would “rather be a poor man [in England] than a rich man abroad.”
