A personal view by Kenneth Clark

'For almost a thousand years the chief creative force in western civilisation was Christianity. Then, in about the year 1730, it suddenly declined - in intellectual society practically disappeared. Of course it left a vacuum. People concocted a new belief - a belief in the divinity of nature.' Kenneth Clark' examination of this new force takes him to Tintern Abbey and the Lake District, to the Swiss Alps and the ideas of Rousseau - and to the landscapes of Turner and Constable.
