Nephosthe weather behind the paintings

The register

Dated Constable sky studies found in public collections.

Constable dated most of his sky studies on the back, often with the hour and the wind. This register lists each one that a public museum record dates, with the museum's own transcription and a link to its record. Where a historical register has been transcribed, its wind and thermometer sit beside the sheet. Disputed dates stay marked as disputed. Museum inscriptions are preserved verbatim; Nephos’s register transcriptions link to the original pages.

How this list was compiled

Public records only, museum words only.

Entries come from holders' own collection records, found through their sites, APIs and Art UK. An entry needs a live museum object page; the museum's transcription is copied verbatim (only quotation marks around a whole transcription are removed) or left empty with the reason; a day is assigned only when the museum assigns one. Dealer, auction and private-collection listings are excluded. The compilation note and per-holder search method are in the register file.
