The story of Weymouth Bay (Bowleaze Cove and Jordon Hill)

The painting dates from 1816–17, after the six-week honeymoon Constable and Maria Bicknell spent at John Fisher's vicarage at Osmington near Weymouth. It is the second of three oil versions of the view; the first is a small sketch in the V&A and the third, larger, is in the Louvre.

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".
