Synopsis

John Constable produced his most famous painting, The Hay Wain, in his London studio in 1821. At the time, the work was seen as a radical portrayal of the Suffolk countryside and divided critics. Now, 200 years later, it is regarded as an iconic representation of the English landscape. 

 

This publication tells the story of the painting and its social, political and art historical significance. It begins by examining artistic depictions of rural England and explores how the country’s landscape was changing physically and politically at the turn of the nineteenth century.  Other chapters consider Constable’s life and career prior to producing The Hay Wain; the making of the painting itself; the work’s exhibition in Britain and internationally; and its influential afterlife.

 

Providing fresh perspectives on this celebrated painting, the book illuminates the establishment of Constable as a central figure in the history of British art.
