The story of The Cornfield
The Cornfield was painted in Constable's London studio from January to March 1826 and shows a lane leading from East Bergholt towards Dedham. Constable called it The Drinking Boy; it was exhibited at the Royal Academy in April 1826 as Landscape: Noon and failed to find a buyer. After his death, funds were raised to buy it for the National Gallery.

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".
