"Study for The Leaping Horse (2)" is a preparatory oil sketch by the renowned English Romantic painter John Constable. Created as one of the studies for his 1825 masterpiece "The Leaping Horse," this work exemplifies Constable's meticulous approach to landscape painting and his dedication to capturing the dynamic interplay of light and atmosphere in the English countryside. The sketch is part of a series of studies that Constable undertook in order to perfect the composition and lighting effects in the final painting, which depicts a horse leaping over a river lock on the Stour.

In "Study for The Leaping Horse (2)," viewers can observe Constable's exploration of naturalistic color, his attention to the effects of sunlight on water and foliage, and his interest in conveying the movement and vitality of rural life. The study is characterized by its loose brushwork and the immediacy of its execution, which allows insight into Constable's artistic process and the evolution of his ideas from conception to the finished canvas.

As with many of Constable's works, this study reflects his deep affection for the Suffolk landscape, which he referred to as "the sound of water escaping from mill dams, willows, old rotten planks, slimy posts, and brickwork." These elements would later be rendered with greater detail and refinement in the final version of "The Leaping Horse," which stands as one of Constable's most ambitious and celebrated depictions of the English countryside.

The significance of "Study for The Leaping Horse (2)" lies not only in its relationship to the final painting but also in its demonstration of Constable's innovative approach to plein air painting and his influence on the development of landscape painting as a genre. The study is an important piece within the broader context of Constable's oeuvre and the history of British art, offering a window into the artist's creative process and his enduring legacy as a master of landscape.
