From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Stonehenge is a 1836 watercolor by John Constable, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a landscape with a big, old monument in the middle. The monument has big stones standing up in a circle. In the background, there are hills and a cloudy sky. The painting is done in watercolor, which gives it a soft, dreamy look. The artist used light and dark colors to make the stones and the sky look interesting.

The work was part of Constable’s late output, produced alongside his final lectures on landscape painting and shortly before his death in 1837.
