| book description |

As part of the â€˜Discoverâ€™ series, this catalogue explores Constableâ€™s most famous painting and its social, political and artistic significance. It begins with an introduction to depictions of rural England by the artistâ€™s predecessors and contemporaries in the British art world, before examining how the English landscape was changing physically and politically at the turn of the nineteenth century. Having set the context, the publication considers Constableâ€™s life and career prior to producing The Hay Wain, going on to look closely at the making of the painting itself, the artistâ€™s practice and materials, and the workâ€™s exhibition in Britain. Two further chapters focus on Constable on the international stage in his lifetime and beyond, and the afterlife of The Hay Wain.Â EXHIBITION SCHEDULE 17 October 2024â€“2 February 2025, The National Gallery, London Â
