Wooded Landscape 1802

"Wooded Landscape," painted in 1802 by English artist John Constable (1776-1837), captures the essence of a dense woodland scene. Located at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto, Canada, this oil on canvas painting showcases Constable's early development as a landscape artist. Through a detailed depiction of trees, foliage, and light, the artist highlights the beauty of the natural world, drawing attention to the intricate details of the forest floor and the interplay of light and shadow through the canopy. This work exemplifies the Romantic movement's fascination with nature and its sublime qualities.
