Coleção: John Constable

John Constable RA was an English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for revolutionizing the genre of landscape painting with his paintings of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home—now known as "Constable Country"—which he invested with an intensity of affection. "I should paint my own places best," he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, "painting is but another word for feeling."
