About the piece
Created around 1810, this oil sketch by the renowned British master John Constable captures a barge near Flatford Lock in Suffolk. The work exemplifies Constable’s revolutionary approach to landscape painting, using loose, expressive brushwork and a naturalistic palette to convey the shifting light and expansive atmosphere of the rural English riverfront.
