“On Carrington Moss, Cheshire” is an artwork created by David Cox in 1851. It belongs to the Romanticism art movement and is classified as a cloudscape genre.
The artwork depicts a vast, dramatic sky with billowing clouds dominating the majority of the scene. Beneath this broad expanse, a stretch of landscape takes form, characterized by its moorland appearance. Subtle yet distinct, the horizon line separates the land from the sky, providing depth and perspective. Two small human figures are seen towards the right side of the composition, carrying what appears to be bundles on their backs, adding a narrative element and a sense of scale to the vastness of nature around them. Delicate hues of blue and earthy tones reflect the moody atmosphere, capturing the Romantic essence of the sublime in nature.
