Weymouth Bay: Bowleaze Cove and Jordon Hill

Weymouth Bay: Bowleaze Cove and Jordon Hill is an oil-on-canvas painting executed between 1816 and 1817 by the English landscape artist John Constable.

It is the second of three oil versions of this view painted by Constable and now hangs in the National Gallery, London.

[1] From mid-October to December 1816, Constable and Maria Bicknell spent their six-week honeymoon at his friend John Fisher's vicarage in the village of Osmington, near the seaside town of Weymouth in Dorset.

Prior to Weymouth Bay: Bowleaze Cove and Jordon Hill, Constable made a small oil sketch ‘Weymouth Bay’, 1816, now in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

[5][6] The painting now has the title ‘Weymouth Bay with Approaching Storm’ and hangs in the Louvre in Paris.
