Гоблен Landscape

according to John Constable (1776-1837), Picture, approx. 61 x 43 cm, 35 colours, 9 stitches/1 cm, Gobelin Constable, one of England"s most important painters, was the son of a miller. His early landscape paintingsare completely under the infl uence of Dutch painting. Only gradually did he break away from this style ofpainting. The luminosity and freshness of his landscapes were incomparable, as were the eff ects of the lightand the cloud mountains. The weather and the movement of the landscape in the wind became more andmore important. Constable relied more on exact observations of nature than on the model of any otherpainter. When, in 1824, among other things, the painting "Landscape" (original: "Hay wagon", National Gallery,London) used here as a model was exhibited in a Parisian salon, the success was immense. Later Constableexhibited repeatedly in Paris and thus gained infl uence on the French painters.
