The story of Stonehenge

The watercolour was displayed at the Royal Academy in 1836 and has been in the V&A since the artist's daughter Isabel presented it in 1888 as part of the Constable Bequest.

John Constable

John Constable was an English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for revolutionising the genre of landscape painting with his pictures of Dedham Vale, the area on the borderland of Suffolk and north Essex surrounding his home – now known as "Constable Country" – which he invested with an intensity of affection. "I should paint my own places best", he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, "painting is but another word for feeling".
