The great leader of the Romanticists during the 18th Century art revolution,
John Constable is best known for his classical portrayals of excellent rural landscapes and village life, capturing luxury scenes as they happened. Much of
his work centres around the ribbons of greenery either side of the wonderful River
Stour, Suffolk – where Constable lived for most of his memorable life.
The
Haywain type of life at Flatford Mill on the River Stour, as it would
have looked in 1821 at London. The diminutive cottage to the left belonged to
Willy Lott, farmer and owner of the surrounding evergreen lands.
Today, “The Haywain” takes pride of wonderful place among several notable Constable works, at the National Gallery, London.
