"Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows" is a seminal landscape painting by the English artist John Constable, completed in 1831. This masterpiece is renowned for its emotive portrayal of the natural landscape juxtaposed with the architectural grandeur of Salisbury Cathedral, capturing a unique moment of atmospheric drama and light. The work is a quintessential example of Constable's dedication to depicting the English countryside with an unprecedented fidelity to the variations of light, sky, and atmosphere, which he believed were the "keynotes" of his art.

The painting measures 87.6cm by 111.8cm and is executed in oil on canvas. It depicts a panoramic view of Salisbury Cathedral under a sweeping sky, with a rainbow arching over it, symbolizing hope and divine promise. The scene is animated with various elements of rural life and the natural world, including a shepherd herding his flock, and the River Avon flowing in the foreground, adding a dynamic quality to the composition.

"Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows" was painted during a period of personal grief for Constable, following the death of his wife, Maria. The emotional turmoil and spiritual reflection of this period are thought to be reflected in the painting's turbulent sky and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, imbuing the work with a deeply personal resonance.

Originally exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1831, the painting was part of Constable's efforts to establish his reputation as a painter of large-scale landscapes. It was met with mixed reviews, as Constable's innovative techniques and expressive use of paint were ahead of their time, challenging the conventional expectations of landscape painting.

Today, "Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows" is celebrated as one of Constable's most important and influential works. It is held in the collection of the Tate Britain, London, having been acquired for the nation in 2013 through a major fundraising campaign. The painting stands as a testament to Constable's enduring legacy as a pioneer of Romanticism in British art, and his profound influence on the development of landscape painting in the 19th century.
