More about this artwork

John Constable's "The Cornfield," painted in 1816, transports viewers to a serene, rural English setting, showcasing his mastery in capturing the essence of the countryside. This painting illustrates a picturesque view of nature's beauty, where the sublime meets the everyday.At the center of the work is a leafy pathway that draws the eyes towards a distant cornfield under a lively, bright sky. Flanking the path are towering trees and lush vegetation, painted with robust, textural brushstrokes that emphasize the wild, untamed beauty of nature. The depth of the landscape is enhanced by the skilled use of light and shade, illustrating the artist's acute observation of his surroundings.In the foreground, a small pond reflects part of the sky and surrounding trees, adding to the scene's tranquility. A flock of sheep accompanied by a shepherd brings a touch of rural life, emphasizing the harmony between humanity and nature. A dog, possibly herding the sheep, adds an element of movement and life, contrasting with the stillness of the surroundings.

John Constable RA was an English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for revolutionising the genre of landscape painting with his pictures of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home – now known as "Constable Country" – which he invested with an intensity of affection. "I should paint my own places best", he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, "painting is but another word for feeling".
