Born in 1776 in Suffolk, by 1794 Constable had begun his artistic career, making a sketching tour of Norfolk, and produced his first etchings in 1797. In 1799 Constable attended the RA, first exhibiting there in 1802. Marrying in 1816, he and his wife moved to Bloomsbury, London a year later, though she, suffering from tuberculosis, died in 1828 to her husband’s utmost dismay.
Constable exhibited regularly throughout the country and was made an elected RA in 1829. Works of his shown at the Paris and Lille Salons in 1824 and 1826 earned him gold medals from Charles X and the Society of Fine Arts respectively. His finest work, the first edition of English Landscape, a series of mezzotints after his designs by David Lucas, was published 1830-2. He died in 1837.

About the work
About the Work
Finished in 1821, The Hay Wain is one of Constables most famous images, depicting a rural scene on the River Stour between Suffolk and Essex.
The Hay Wain is one of a series of paintings by Constable called the "six-footers", large-scale canvasses which he painted for the annual summer exhibitions at the Royal Academy.
With the image being so sought after a series of mezzotints and etchings were produced after the painting so that people could have a glimpse of it in their homes.
Many engravers took upon the mantle of creating the painting into an etching/engraving over the years, in varying sizes, technique and condition. The artist who engraves the work normally puts their name under the image, sometimes preceded by the word ‘sculpt’ or ‘scpt’.
This mezzotint on India wove paper was engraved after John Constable by Pratt (Joseph Bishop, 1854-1910)

The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.

Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

There is no other gallery like Goldmark. I'm always amazed at both the stock they hold and their ability to regularly source really quite special pieces of art. That, with their friendly, knowledgeable & utterly unpretentious style makes them a delight to visit & to buy from.

Their delivery service is 100% reliable and the breadth of work displayed on their website pretty amazing. Above all, unlike other such dealers, I have never been under any pressure to buy. I recommend you give them a try.

We first visited Goldmark approximately 6 years ago and immediately liked the informality compared to previous gallery experiences. It’s a great place to start or build on your collection. Everyone at Goldmark is very friendly, knowledgeable and will give you as much or as little time as you wish.

We have bought prints and pots from Goldmark over many years and our house is the richer for the collections we have built up. The framing and delivery service are faultless.
