FLATFORD MILL, KEY TO THE CONSTABLE COUNTRY  

THE River Stour, in East Anglia, passes through pleasant wooded and  

pastoral region around East Bergholt in Suffolk, which is known as the  

Constable Country. It was there that the greatest of English landscape painters  

was born in 1776 and where he spent his boyhood absorbing the sights and  

scenes along the river which he later immortalised in his paintings. â€œThose  

scenes,” he recorded, â€œmade me painter.”  

The heart of the Constable Country is Flatford Mill, illustrated here,  

which, with Dedham Mill, was owned by Constable's father, miller. After  

leaving the Grammar School at Dedham, John Constable worked in his  

father’s business until he reached the age of twenty-two. Although it no  

longer serves its original purpose, Flatford Mill has recently been restored and  

is now in the care of the National Trust â€”as is the adjoining Willy Lott  

Cottage.”  

Even as schoolboy all of Constable spare time was devoted to painting,  

and later his experience as miller, which necessitated the study of clouds and  

the weather, served useful purpose when he portrayed the beauties of the  

English landscape. The cornfields, old mills, rustic bridges, the trees, farmyard  

animals and, above all, the great skies filled with cumulus cloud were the  

favorite subjects of this renowned painter, whose works can b'e seen in the  

National Gallery, the Tate Gallery and elsewhere in London.  

•In 1799, at the age of 22, Constable began his studies as painter by  

entering the Royal Academy School in London, and three years later he  

held an exhibition at the Academy, to which he was elected as an associate  

member in 1819. Three years earlier, after five-year engagement, he married  

Mary Bicknel): the delay being due to the opposition taf her relatives. His  

monetary worries were relieved by legacy of Â£BOOO in 1819. Two years  

later he won gold medal at the Paris Salon for his well-known picture Ihe  

Hay Wain,” but the turning point in his career came with his â€œDedham Vale,  

of which there are numerous reproductions. Another ol Constable favorite  

subjects was Flatford Mill, which his brush immortalised, and tew English  

landscapes were more familiar than this part of the Stour Valley.
