January 2022 Newsletter: John Constable

John Constable
The English Romantic painter John Constable was born in Suffolk in 1776. His great affection for the English countryside - particularly the area surrounding his home - would become the subject of the vast majority of his paintings. Obsessively detailing the changes in light, cloud reflections, and atmospheres of the places he observed, Constable's paintings capture the tranquility and rural domesticity of the English landscape.
John Constable work influenced Turner's work and study on clouds.
