The Framing of John Constable’s Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows
When acquired by Tate in 2013, John Constable’s Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows exhibited 1831 was in a rococo-style frame (fig.1), initially believed to be a twentieth century reproduction. It was in this frame that the painting toured the UK until 2018.1 When it returned to Tate Britain, it was displayed in the Clore Gallery in a new frame alongside J.M.W. Turner’s Caligula’s Palace and Bridge, also reframed, which had first been exhibited beside Constable’s painting in the 1831 Academy (fig.2). This was a partial reconstruction of the original hang and re-framing both pictures in a more historically appropriate style was designed to enhance the display.
The rococo-style frame was shallow and narrow, with repeated deep-sweeping curves set between cartouches at the centre and corner of each side. At accession it was decided by Tate curators and frame conservators that this frame was wrong both historically and aesthetically, its decorative form and dull brown-gold appearance deadening the painting’s impact. Cleaning the frame to lift its appearance was not thought adequate and it appeared to have minimal contextual value, being most likely a later replacement of an unrecorded original. Ho

Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Grounds
Painting by John Constable
Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Grounds is an 1823 landscape painting by the English landscape painter John Constable (1776–1837). This image of Salisbury Cathedral, one of England's most famous medieval churches, is one of his most celebrated works, and was commissioned by one of his closest friends, John Fisher, The Bishop of Salisbury.[1] The 1823 version of the painting has been in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London since its bequest in 1857.[1]
History
[edit]Constable visited Salisbury in 1811 and made a series of sketches of the cathedral, from the south-east, the south-west and from the east end.[2] The artist selected a viewpoint from the bishop's garden (the south-east) and returned in 1820 to make further drawings and an open-air oil sketch, now in the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa,[3] which served as the model for the London version. Included in the paintings are figures of Dr. Fisher and his wife at the bottom left. Following the exhibition of the London version at the 1823 Royal Academy, Constable observed: "My Cathedral looks very well....It was the most difficult subject in Landscape I ever had upon
