John Constable (1776–1837) loved the English countryside with a passionate sincerity that changed the course of landscape painting. The Suffolk-born artist spent his career painting the skies, fields, rivers, and mills of his native East Anglia with a directness and atmospheric truth that was revolutionary for its time — his clouds alone are studied by art students to this day. The Hay Wain, Flatford Mill, Dedham Vale — these are images so deeply embedded in the English visual imagination that they feel less like paintings and more like memories of a landscape. In counted cross stitch, Constable's luminous skies and rich, varied greens of the English countryside translate into designs of genuine beauty and calm.
