From 1819 to 1826, Constable rented a summer house at Hampstead, a quarrying district on the northern outskirts of London, where he made drawings, oil sketches, and paintings of the surrounding landscape. In this painting, the atmosphere plays a dominant role. The artist meticulously observed and recorded cloud formations, weather conditions, and natural light effects; he believed an accurate rendering of these constantly shifting elements could transmit the vitality and freshness that was so important to his vision of the English countryside. Constable's insistently overcast skies, with rain or the promise of rain, were distinctly British, and his treatment of them is how he distanced himself from the more temperate Italianate landscapes, seen in the golden glow of sky in paintings by Richard Wilson, Thomas Gainsborough, and John Martin that many still considered the ideal of natural beauty.

Pick your favorite material

For every fine art print we offer different materials and sizes. Thus, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Poster print (canvas material): Our poster print is a printed sheet of flat canvas paper with a slightly roughened texture on the surface. It is used for putting your art copy using a custom frame. Please bear in mind, that depending on the size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6 cm round about the print motif, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a print material with a true depth. Its non-reflective surface creates a contemporary look. The bright parts of the original artwork shimmer with a silky gloss but without the glare.
• Printed acrylic glass: A glossy acrylic glass print, which is often referred to as a an art print on plexiglass, transforms your favorite original artwork into gorgeous décor and makes a great alternative option to canvas or aluminium dibond fine art replicas. Your favorite work of art is manufactured with the help of state-of-the-art UV direct print technology. The great upside of an acrylic glass print is that contrasts and minor image details become visible thanks to the delicate tonal gradation in the print. Our plexiglass with real glass coating protects your chosen art replica against light and external influences for many more years.
• Canvas: The canvas print, which should not be mistaken with a canvas painting, is an image printed on an industrial printing machine. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is quite simple to hang up the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. Because of thatcanvas prints are suitable for all kinds of walls.
