John
Constable born 1776 died 1837
Although he showed an early
talent for art and began 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 he 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 he 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 he
began to win recognition: 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.
Constable worked extensively in the open air, drawing and
sketching in oils, but his finished pictures were produced
in the studio. For his most ambitious works--`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 tendency to praise these even more
highly than the finished works because of their freedom and
freshness of brushwork.
