Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark, No. 11. The Worship of Nature

Discusses the fragmentation of Christendom, when a belief in the divinity of nature replaced Christianity as the chief creative force. Highlights the birth of Romanticism as advocated by Jean Jacques Rousseau, Goethe, Wordsworth, and Coleridge. Examines the painting of John Constable, who rediscovered the beauty of the natural landscape, and Turner, whose work anticipated future generations, including the Impressionists.
