Constable’s iconic Hay Wain in 10 分鐘或更短 | 國家畫廊
What made John Constable’s ‘The Hay Wain’ so radical for its time?
Vivmar Curatorial Fellow Emily Burns explains Constable’s groundbreaking use of colour and skilled composition, and how he set about painting this masterpiece in only 5 月.
The view in the painting is of the millpond at Flatford on the River Stour. Flatford Mill was a watermill for grinding corn, operated by the Constable family for nearly a hundred years. It still survives and is about a mile from Constable’s birthplace at East Bergholt, Suffolk. The house on the left also survives; in Constable’s time it was occupied by tenant farmer Willy Lott.
The title, 乾草圍場, refers to the wooden wagon (wain) used for transporting cut and dried meadow grass (hay). The empty wagon is making its way through the shallow water to cross to the meadow on the other side where haymakers are at work.
