John Constable - Landscape with Cottages | Area Rug

John Constable built his reputation on unpretentious views of the English countryside around his native Suffolk, favoring humble cottages, working farmland, and everyday rural life over grand or idealized scenery. This landscape with cottages reflects that lifelong subject, rendered with the close observation of light, foliage, and weather that made his mature work so influential on later landscape painting. Constable believed the sky was the "key note" of any landscape, and his cottage scenes are as much studies of English atmosphere as of architecture.
