''Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows'' was painted by John Constable in 1831, one year after the death of his wife, Maria. It is currently on display at the National Museum Wales, Cardiff, on loan from the Tate Gallery, London. He later added nine lines from “The Seasons” by the eighteenth-century poet James Thomson that reveal the painting's meaning: That the rainbow is a symbol of hope after a storm that follows on the death of the young Amelia in the arms of her lover Celadon. Constable exhibited this painting at the Royal Academy in 1831, but continued working on it during 1833 and 1834.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=National Gallery, London )〕 ==Symbolic metaphor== This painting was a personal statement of his turbulent emotions and his changing states of mind. The sky reflects this turbulence and shows his emotional state of being.〔(Constable's Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows ), Ben Pollitt, Smarthistory, accessed December 20, 2012.〕 Possible political meanings have been attributed to it, one of which being the clash of industrialization and nature represented through the clash of elements. Some symbolism in this painting includes: * Grave marker: symbol of death * Ash tree: symbol of life * Church: symbol of faith and resurrection * Rainbow: symbol of renewed optimism 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
