About this ebook
During his lifetime and career as an artist, he did not have many commissions and had a shortage of financial funds, although after his death, collectors were buying his paintings at high prices and every museum or gallery considered very prestigious to have them in their collections.
In fact, Constable was not even popular among the aristocracy and the higher society, and only after he was admitted to the Royal Academy, which happened in his too old age, he became known as an artist. It is paradoxical that his work was more popular in France than in his native England. Moreover, the paintings of Constable inspire French artists from the so-called Barbizon school.

Foreword
John Constable (1776 - 1837) has become best known for his landscapes painted in Dedham Vale, the place where he spent his life. The artist was born in Suffolk, and was heavily attached to his native land, which is why almost all of his landscapes are devoted to places from there.
During his lifetime and career as an artist, he did not have many commissions and had a shortage of financial funds, although after his death, collectors were buying his paintings at high prices and every museum or gallery considered very prestigious to have them in their collections.
