Dallandskab 1801

"Dallandskab" (Landscape) is a pencil drawing by English Romantic artist John Constable, created in 1801. It showcases Constable's early fascination with the natural world, a theme that would become central to his later work. The drawing depicts a serene valley with rolling hills, a single tree standing in the foreground, and a hint of a river winding through the landscape. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective, characteristic of Constable's early drawings. "Dallandskab" is a testament to Constable's keen observation of nature and his ability to capture the beauty of the English countryside, making it a key work for understanding his artistic development.
