Painting the Weather

Via Ionarts, I spent a little time perusing an online art gallery entitled Painting the Weather. It's a fascinating exhibit, notable in the range of art represented: there are Japanese screens beside Impressionist works beside English pastorals, like this particular painting by John Constable (whose work I've always loved):



"Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows"

For some reason, looking at a Constable painting always makes me want to read some Tennyson. Or watch Monty Python, I'm not sure which.
