| John Constable (1776-1837) was a British landscape painter born in East Bergholt, Suffolk, and was the son of a miller. Constable trained in London at the Royal Academy schools where he studied Ruisdael and Claude. Constable painted the Suffolk countryside, Hamstead Heath and Salisbury Cathedral. He was only elected a member of the Royal Academy in 1829 but achieved greater recognition in France where his now famous ‘Haywain’ won a gold medal and influenced Delacroix. |
 | John Constable (British Artists) Constable is one of the best-known and most popular of British painters. His fresh depictions of the English countryside have often been taken as the genuine and most authentic record of his native land. Yet there is far more to Constable than the celebration of local scenery. This book draws on recent research to show how profound the artist's perception of nature was and how innovative he was as a painter. This volume is part of Tate Publishing's "British Artists" series. more information>>
