John Costable était un peintre anglais qui a capturé une série d'un paysage anglais typique dans une série de six peintures. Plus précisément, c'est l'environnement de Dedham, près de Suffolka, où son père avait une ferme. Il a passé son enfance ici, donc pas étonnant qu'il aimait cet endroit. Le constable était également l'un des rares artistes à avoir capturé la météo dans ses peintures sur la base de ses propres études sur les livres météorologiques. Le ciel sinistre donne un soupçon de mauvais temps. Cependant, le spectateur ne sait pas si la tempête est passée ou vient simplement. L'image est également des détails remarquables, qu'ils soient de la boue dans la rivière, en faisant brouter un cheval blanc ou une femme sur un enfant de pont. Un élément important de l'image est l'Église discredi à l'horizon. C'est une église anglicane qui ferme le cycle de la vie et de l'éternité divine.

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.
