'''John Constable''' (1776-1837) was an [[England|English]] [[Romanticism|Romantic]] landscape [[painter]] of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He is known for pastoral paintings such as ''Dedham Vale'' (1802 and 1828) (the area surrounding his home—now known as "Constable Country") and ''The Hay Wain'' (Landscape: Noon) (1821). His paintings are now among the most popular and valuable in British art, though he was never financially successful. He was elected to the Royal Academy at the age of 52 and sold more paintings in [[France]] than in his home country, England.
