Landscape with Cottages
John Constable, 1776–1837, painted 1809–10
Held by The Art Institute of Chicago and released as Public domain (Art Institute of Chicago, CC0). It is here to paint after: give us your own line and the painters take its brushwork, its palette and its light, and none of its subject.
The museum’s image is too small to print cleanly, so this one is for painting after.
- Painting after it
- The painters take its handling, its surface and its light. Your line, or your photograph, stays the subject.
- The credit
- Every painting made after it carries “after John Constable (1776–1837), Landscape with Cottages, The Art Institute of Chicago” on its plaque, and on the share page.
- The licence
- Public domain (Art Institute of Chicago, CC0), as the museum states it. The credit travels with it everywhere we show it, and it is never enlarged.
