Insbesondere ist es die Umgebung von Dedham in der Nähe von Suffolka, wo sein Vater eine Farm hatte. Er verbrachte seine Kindheit hier, also kein Wunder, dass er diesen Ort mochte. Constable war auch einer der wenigen Künstler, die das Wetter in seinen Gemälden auf der Grundlage seiner eigenen Studien über meteorologische Bücher festhielten. Der düstere Himmel gibt einen Hauch von schlechtem Wetter. Der Betrachter ist sich jedoch nicht sicher, ob der Sturm vergangen ist oder nur kommt. Das Bild ist auch bemerkenswerte Details, ob es sich um Schlamm im Fluss handelt, ein weißes Pferd oder eine Frau auf einem brückenbüchtischen Kind. Ein wichtiges Element des Bildes ist die unauffällige Kirche am Horizont. Es ist eine anglikanische Kirche, die den Lebenszyklus und die göttliche Ewigkeit schließt.

John Constable (1776 - 1837). English painter during Romanticism. He was the son of a miller in Suffolk County and since childhood, he dreamed of becoming one of the best landscape painters of the 19th century. At last, painting really became the sole purpose of his existence. In December 1817, he moved to London with his wife, and there the first of their seven children was born. Children then followed almost invariably each year, but it was very difficult and exhausting to feed such a large family. Landscape painting was not recognized nor a much profitable profession in England in the 19th century. John and Mary worked very hard, which later destroyed their health. Despite this, however, gradually the first significant successes arrived. In 1819, John Constable became an associate member of the Royal Academy of Arts.
Two years later, he painted his most famous work Hay Wagon. He exhibited it in London, but he came to fame in 1824 when this image received the gold medal at the Salon in Paris. The local appraisal was full of recognition, but in England his work was viewed with reserve. A year later, although he was accepted as a full member of the Royal Academy of Arts, he exhibited a grim picture, Hadleigh Castle, which expressed grief over the death of his wife. He entrusted their seven children to a nurse, but he still cared for them very well and conscientiously. A very renowned piece is Wivenhoe Park of 1816. In 1833, however, he fell ill and was greatly plagued by old age. To conserve his strength, he painted only less demanding watercolours. Finally, Constable died after a stroke in 1837. His paintings were sold for a small amount auction, and his work achieved recognition many years later.
