Somewhat in the manner of John Constable, but without the turbulent cloudscapes that made Constable's work at once more daring and romantic than it first appeared and with a somewhat shabbier setting, which, nonetheless and taken with the blazing light in the coming distance, this 'Coalbrookdale' of 1801 seems to somewhat presage the coming Industrial Revolution -- the reason no doubt it appears on that page at Wikipedia.
