Among the Gallery's 25 best-loved
landscapes and coastal scenes, John Constable's magnificent
full-sized oil sketch of Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows
is the undoubted jewel. Also illustrated are pictures by
artists like William Collins and Patrick Nasmyth which reflect
the growing popularity of rural subjects in an age of
increasing industrialisation and urban expansion, while
continental views by David Roberts and Clarkson Stanfield
respond to the demand for foreign subjects stimulated by the
new fashion for travel. 'British Impressionism' closes the
selection with paintings by Henry Scott Tuke and H H La
Thangue.
