Above is my photograph of the Columbia River taken from an airplane on approach to the airport in Portland. Below is an actual John Constable painting. The main similarities are the roiling clouds, present in practically all Constable landscapes, and the green and brown colors. Obviously, Constable has not done any aerial views. I made the association when I first saw the photo after I had downloaded it.
John Constable (1776-1837) English.
"When I sit down to make a sketch from nature, the first thing I try to do is to forget that I have ever seen a picture".
