Stoke-by-Nayland, John Constable — Stoke-by-Nayland, 1836

John Constable

1776–1837 · Romanticism · 9 works

Constable returned to the Suffolk countryside he had known since childhood. Stoke-by-Nayland is a full-scale sketch whose lively surface captures his response to a summer morning. That personal attachment to an observed place offers a quieter side of Romantic landscape.
