Long-lost Constable painting found in basement
A mystery painting found in a South London basement could be a long lost Constable. The painting, found in a house in Beckenham, South London, is believed to be a long-lost work by John Constable R.A. (1776 – 1837) known as A Summer Meadow. The work is currently under examination by art history academics at the National Gallery in London.
