The Land: Constable - Salisbury Cathedral
This was the last of many hauntingly beautiful sketches and paintings John Constable made of Salisbury Cathedral. He worked on it for years. During a bout of rheumatic fever, he propped the picture up against the foot of his bed. In the end, he was satisfied... 'At last,' he wrote, 'I have got the Great Salisbury into the condition I wish to see it.'
