John Constable (June 11, 1776 – March 31, 1837) was a painter who was born in England. He's famed for his detailed paintings that portrayed Dedham Vale, an area around his home. According to the artist, painting was his way of expressing his feelings about his subjects, ensuring that he did it the best way he could. Constable has several paintings to his name, with some of his most sought after pieces being “The Hay Wain” (1821), “Wivenhoe Park” (1816), and “Dedham Vale” (1802). He started making sketches as a youth, capturing the things he saw in his Suffolk and Essex surroundings. The beautiful scenes he came across inspired him further into painting, doing his best to capture everything possible. Constable was further inspired by Claude Lorrain's Hagar and the Angel, an artwork he was shown by George Beaumont, who was an art collector. It was in 1799 that he decided to take up a career in art after persuading his father to allow him. Constable joined the Royal Academy schools where he learned anatomy and life classes as well as copied the works of old masters. He developed a style that involved a freshly use of color, light, and texture that was akin to the works of some of the old masters who inspired him. Constable was mainly a romantic painter whose works captured the serenity of his subjects and delivered their underlying beauty and calmness.
Unfortunately, Constable didn't have financial success during his lifestyle. There is even a time he had to take portraiture just to put bread on the table. It was until 1819 that he actually made a notable sale of his canvas work, “The Winter Horse.” It's also the same year that he became an Associate of the Royal Academy.
In 1829, when he was 52 years old, Constable got elected to the Royal Academy and would later be appointed Visitor at the academy. He offered lectures to students on the history of landscape painting, doing so until 1835.
His artistic works veered from the then culture that required artists to get their ideas from their imaginations as opposed to drawing their subjects from nature.
Constable’s creative pieces remain famous and can be found in collections and galleries. For those who would like John Constable framed art for their decoration, they can be found in art dealerships and galleries across the globe.
