 Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop's Grounds by CONSTABLE, John
Constable in his day was the preeminent painter of the English landscape, and although he never achieved the overwhelming success of his contemporary Turner, his naturalist's vision had far greater impact on the history of 19th-century painting.
In 1822 John Fisher, bishop of Salisbury, commissioned from Constable a view of Salisbury Cathedral.
The bishop rejected the canvas, which is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, because it had a stormy sky, and the artist painted a highly finished variant with a bright sky in 1826.

 Florilegium urbanum - Salisbury / Northampton guildhalls
The Bishop's Guildhall in Salisbury was probably built in the early fourteenth century.
The administration of justice at New Salisbury was in the hands of the Bishop, and consequently it was his court that convened in a guildhall in the south-east corner of the marketplace; he also later had a prison there.
The bishop conceded a power-sharing state of affairs, through an agreement with the citizens in 1306, giving official recognition to guild and mayor; the bishop retained sole jurisdiction over judicial administration, but the presence of the mayor was required for judgements to be passed.
