Views of ordinary people and places—with no embellishment or symbolism—were not esteemed topics in the early 1800s, and the sheer size of this view of the countryside around Constable’s childhood home was unusual. Based on a close study of his surroundings, Constable achieved natural and lifelike effects by applying a wide range of greens as seen in nature. Painting from a high viewpoint gives the work an almost panoramic view. Without any artificial enhancements, the painting’s emphasis on the commonplace was unpopular with critics.
