About the piece
Painted around 1809, this vibrant oil sketch by John Constable depicts the church in his native village of East Bergholt. The work is a superb example of Constable's landscape studies, utilizing energetic impasto and a dramatic, swirling sky to convey the transient effects of light and weather in the Suffolk landscape.
