Rediscovered John Constable Painting Unveiled at Salisbury Museum
A long-lost painting by renowned Romantic landscape painter John Constable, titled 'View of Salisbury from Harnham Ridge,' is set to be unveiled at Salisbury Museum. The painting, dating back to the 1820s, had been in a private collection for over six decades before being rediscovered by Constable specialist Timothy Wilcox. The artwork, which depicts a rural scene with Salisbury Cathedral in the background, will be on long-term loan to the museum until 2030. This marks a significant moment for the museum, as it is the first time a Constable painting will be displayed there long-term, highlighting the artist's connection to the area.
