This is a print from John Constable’s late-career project. It shows a quiet English landscape using a printmaking method called mezzotint. The artist guided the process to keep the feel of his oil sketches alive. The series was huge for its time. Constable oversaw 22 views of countryside scenes, published in parts over years, and later reprinted after his death. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
