The story of The Vale of Dedham
The Vale of Dedham was painted in 1828 and shown at the Royal Academy that year, and it was primarily responsible for his election as a full Royal Academician in 1829. Scholars believe the composition pays homage to Claude Lorrain's Hagar and the Angel. The view from Gun Hill along the River Stour was a favourite subject that he painted several times, most famously in 1802.

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".
