Answer 1

John Constable
John Constable (1776-1837), English painter, who was a master of landscape painting in the romantic style. His direct studies of nature prompted French painters of the Barbizon School to paint outdoors rather than in the studio. Constable’s interest in the effects of light later became an inspiration to the painters of the impressionist movement.

Constable was born in East Bergholt, Suffolk. He showed a strong interest in art from his childhood. After working in his father’s flour mill, he went to London in 1799 to study painting at the Royal Academy schools. On his own, Constable also learned painting technique by copying the works of Dutch painter Jacob van Ruisdael and French landscapist Claude Lorrain, both of whom he greatly admired. He exhibited his first landscape paintings in 1802 and thereafter studied painting and English rural life on his own, developing a distinctly individual style.

Constable departed from the traditions of Dutch and English painting by discarding the usual brown underpainting and achieving a more natural and luminous effect through the use of broken bits of color applied with a palette knife. He was fascinated by reflections in water and light on clouds, and produced many cloud studies. Many of his paintings depict the countryside of the Stour River valley in Suffolk where he had grown up, and he also portrayed Salisbury and Dorset, in southwest England. He often painted in the open air, but he usually finished his canvases in the studio.

During his lifetime and for many years after his death, Constable received little recognition or support in England. In France, however, where his painting Hay Wain (1821, National Gallery, London) was shown by a French dealer at the Paris Salon of 1824, he was much admired by the romantic painter Eugène Delacroix; by the Barbizon painters, who, following Constable’s example, began to paint outdoors; and by the impressionists, who sought to capture the effects of light.

Constable’s works include Boatbuilding Near Flatford Mill (1814-1815, Victoria and Albert Museum, London), which he painted entirely outdoors, The White Horse (1819, Frick Collection, New York City), The Cornfield (1826, National Gallery, London), and Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows (1831, National Gallery, London). Many small oil sketches are in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, where they did much to increase his reputation in England. Five of Constable’s seven children were painters, and some works formerly attributed to Constable are now known to be the work of his son Lionel.
