looks like a Uniqlo advert.
i dont think our age is really capable of expressing relgious pathos
because devotional art requires a kind of selfless obsession and commitment that nobody possesses any more?
I live pretty much in the shadow of Hadleigh Castle. If you get a chance check out the sketches and preparatory work he did for this painting. It really is an exercise in how to build layers up and move from the prosaically pretty to something gesturing towards the sublime.‘Sketch for ‘Hadleigh Castle’‘, John Constable, c.1828–9 | Tate

This was the painting that most interested me this time around.
A good example of how you have to go to galleries cos seeing this at its full size is absolutely essential to becoming a little drowned in it
I love Caillebotte - my avatar is from one of his.
