A new exhibit at Tate Britain opens this month and runs through August 28, 2006: “Constable, The Great Landscapes.”

“This major exhibition offers the first opportunity to view John Constable’s seminal six-foot exhibition canvases together. The ‘six-footers’ are among the best-known images in British art and comprise the famous series of views on the river Stour, which includes The Hay Wain (1820–21), as well as more expressive later works such as Hadleigh Castle (1829) and Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows (1831).”
