Description
John Constable (1776–1837) was an English Romantic painter renowned for his breathtaking landscape paintings, particularly of the English countryside. Born in Suffolk, he developed a deep connection to nature, often depicting scenes of the Stour Valley, as seen in The Hay Wain and Dedham Vale. Constable’s work emphasized natural light, movement, and atmospheric effects, influencing future landscape artists. Though underappreciated in England during his lifetime, he gained recognition in France, inspiring the Barbizon School. His expressive brushwork and devotion to capturing the beauty of rural life cemented his legacy as one of Britain’s most celebrated landscape painters.
