A Reassessment of the Solar Geometry of Constable’s Salisbury Rainbow

Professor John Thornes (member 26) is an expert on the depiction of weather in art. He has recently had an essay published in Tate Magazine in which he solves a puzzle about the rainbow depicted by the English landscape artist, John Constable, in his painting Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows. Professor Thornes’s work is a great demonstration of how science can inform art and vice-versa.

Our Clouds by JJ Evendon

A layer of cloud covers the summer sky,
pleasant without menace.
Tantalisingly beautiful.
Serene by absence of noise.
Drawn by wind carriages.
The sun’s rays exposing momentary holes,
transformed into stilts of light.
Radiant.
Only to disappear then reappear.
All random.
The shadow makers continue their passage,
individually, collectively –
it matters not,
for they are there,
above.
Always above
without torment or whisper.

From Philip Govedare

“The constantly changing cloud formations in skies are less about a literal depiction of an observed phenomenon or place, but are a metaphor and a mirror of an interior landscape of individual consciousness and the human condition.”
