On peut dire que John Constable (1776-1837) est l’artiste anglais le plus aimé ; sa célébrité et sa popularité ne sont égalées que par J. M. W. Turner, son grand contemporain. Mais comme Turner, sa réputation est fondée essentiellement sur quelques images très connues, comme des scènes de Suffolk, comme Flatford Mill ou La Charrette de foin. Cependant beaucoup des chefs-d’œuvre de ses dernières années, Le Château de Hadleigh et La Brèche du Pont de Waterloo inclus, sont loin de ses scènes de Suffolk, et ses réalisations dans le domaine difficile et contesté des marines ont été constamment sous-estimées.Cette introduction de Barry Venning nous présente le milieu de Constable, sa vie de famille, son éducation et ses premiers amis qui lui ont apporté patronage, appui et conseil. Barry Venning discute la relation de l’artiste avec la grande tradition européenne du paysagisme et étudie le contexte historique et culturel dans lequel Constable vivait et travaillait.
