Hampstead Heath, Middlesex, n.d. 'Vignette, to Mr. Constable's English Landscape'. "Ut Umbra sic Vita", (As a shadow so is life). Stormy skies and rainbow. St Paul's Cathedral in London can be seen in the distance. Print from an important series of mezzotints, published between June 1830 and July 1832, after paintings by Turner. The mezzotints by David Lucas demonstrate the principle of chiaroscuro, showing the influence of light and shadow on landscape.
