John Constable Biography

English Romantic artist
born 1776 - died 1837

John Constable (1776-1837). English painter, ranked with Turner as one of the greatest British landscape artists.
Although John Constable showed an early talent for art and be

gan painting his native Suffolk scenery before he left school, his great originality matured slowly.

He committed himself to a career as an artist only in 1799, when John Constable joined the Royal Academy Schools and it was not until 1829 that he was grudgingly made a full Academician, elected by a majority of only one vote. In 1816 John Constable became financially secure on the death of his father and married Maria Bicknell after a seven-year courtship and in the fact of strong opposition from her family. During the 1820s John Constable began to win recognition: Constable paintings The Hay Wain (National Gallery, London, 1821) won a gold medal at the Paris Salon of 1824 and Constable was admired by Delacroix and Bonington among others. His wife died in 1828, however, and the remaining years of his life were clouded by despondency.
After spending some years working in the picturesque tradition of John Constable paintings landscapes and the manner of Gainsborough, John Constable developed his own original treatment from the attempt to render scenery more directly and realistically, carrying on but modifying in an individual way the tradition inherited from Ruisdael and the Dutch 17th-century landscape painters. Just as his contemporary William Wordsworth rejected what John Constable called the `poetic diction' of his predecessors, so he turned away from the pictorial conventions of 18th-century landscape painters, who, John Constable said, were always `running after pictures and seeking the truth at second hand'. Constable thought that `No two days are alike, nor even two hours; neither were there ever two leaves of a tree alike since the creation of the world', and in a then new way he represented in paint the atmospheric effects of changing light in the open air, the movement of clouds across the sky, and his excited delight at these phenomena, stemming from a profound love of the country: `The sound of water escaping from mill dams, willows, old rotten planks, slimy posts and brickwork, I love such things. These scenes made me a painter.' oil painting England, and Biography as well as autumnal sunset John Constable paintings landscapes are supplying here.

He never went abroad, and finest artist John Constable paintings are of the places he knew and loved best, particularly Suffolk and Hampstead, where he lived from 1821. To render the shifting flicker of light and weather John Constable abandoned fine traditional finish, catching the sunlight in blobs of pure white or yellow, and the drama of storms with a rapid brush. Henry Fuseli was among the contemporaries who applauded the freshness of his approach, for C. R. Leslie records him as saying: `I like John Constable paintings landscapes, he is always picturesque, of a fine color, and de lights always in de right places; but he makes me call for my great coat and umbrella.' His most famous art works are autumnal sunset, and other landscape paintings, Romantic paintings.

Constable worked extensively in the open air, drawing and sketching in oils, but his finished pictures were produced in the studio.

For most ambitious Constable paintings --`six-footers' as he called them--he followed the unusual technical procedure of making a full-size oil sketch, and in the 20th century there has been a tendancy to praise these even more highly than the finished John Constable paintings because of their freedom and freshness of brushwork. (The full-size sketch for The Hay Wain is in the V&A, London, which has the finest collection of Constable oil paintings.
In England John Constable had no real sucessor and the many imitators (who included his son Lionel, 1825-87) turned rather to the formal compositions than to the more direct sketches. In France, however, John Constable was a major influence on Romantics such as Delacroix, on the artists of the Barbizon School, and ultimately on the Impressionists.
