Hampstead Heath with a Rainbow

Hampstead Heath with a Rainbow is an 1836 landscape painting by the English artist John Constable.[1] It depicts a scene from Branch Hill in Hampstead overlooking Hampstead Heath.While Constable had previously painted several similar views this work, painted near the end of his career, is notable for the addition of a windmill and a rainbow.[2] He was pleased with the result "one of my best bits of Heath" and what he described as the "fresh" and "sunshiney" effect.[3] Today it is in the collection of the Tate Britain having been bequeathed by his daughter Isabel in 1888[4] This article about a nineteenth-century painting is a stub.
