John Constable (17761837) is arguably one of Englands best loved artists; his fame and popularity are rivalled only by those of his great contemporary, J M W Turner. Turner, his reputation rests on a handful of very well known paintings, usually Suffolk scenes such as Flatford Mill or Hay-Wain. Many of the magisterial productions of his last years, including Hadleigh Castle and The Opening of the Waterloo Bridge, are a far cry from the Suffolk scenes, whilst his accomplishments in the difficult and competitive genre of marine painting have been consistently undervalued. Barry Vennings introduction presents Constables background, his family life, his education and the early friendships from which he drew patronage, support and advice. Barry Venning discusses the artists relationship with the great tradition of European landscape painting and examines the historical and cultural context within which Constable lived and worked.
