Mr. C. Lewis Hind: 'Six Great Artists and What They Stand For - Constable'
To conclude his series. Mr. Lewis Hind has chosen one of the best-loved of all English painters. John Constable (1776-1837) has left behind him the finest pictures of English landscapes that have ever been painted, and in particular his pictures of the Suffolk country that was his home (he was born at East Bergholt and educated at Dedham Grammar School) have never been surpassed for complete comprehension of a typically English countryside.
