约翰-康斯特布尔是英国最著名的风景画家之一。 1776年,康斯特布尔出生于萨福克郡的East Bergholt,是一个磨坊主的儿子。 他开始在磨坊为父亲工作,但他对绘画的热情和天赋使他搬到了伦敦,以完善他的艺术。 不幸的是,他风格的原创性使他的画作很少被售出。

不过,对这位刚起步的艺术家来说,令人高兴的是,1816年他与玛丽-比克内尔结婚,后者后来从她父亲那里继承了2万英镑的财产。 这使得康斯特布尔能够专注于他的艺术。

他是一个多产的人,用铅笔、水彩和油彩画出了无数的草图,并在此基础上创作了更大的画作。 他的灵感来自大自然的美。

此时的风景画,除了理查德-威尔逊和庚斯博罗的作品外,都是没有灵感的,被认为是二流的肖像画。

1826年4月8日,康斯特布尔将一幅大型风景画寄给了皇家学院。 这幅画描绘了玉米田、一条以树木为界的乡间小路和一个带着羊群的年轻牧人。 康斯特布尔把它熟悉地称为 "喝酒的男孩":我们知道它叫 "玉米田",是他最著名的作品之一。 他于1829年成为皇家学院的会员。

康斯特布尔于1831年在伦敦的汉普斯特德去世,享年61岁。 在康斯特布尔的时代,汉普斯特德是一个乡村;他称它为 "亲爱的汉普斯特德 "和他的 "甜蜜的汉普斯特德"。 他在汉普斯特德的两座房子,在Well Walk和在Charlotte Street,都有纪念牌。

康斯特布尔作为英国最伟大的风景艺术家之一而闻名于世。 他主要以其对戴德姆谷的绘画而闻名,戴德姆谷是他成长的地方,现在被称为 "康斯特布尔之乡"。 他的作品在英国从未取得商业上的成功,当他的画作《干草袋》于1821年在巴黎展出时,受到高度赞扬和钦佩。 他的作品极大地影响了巴比松画派的画家和19世纪末的法国印象派画家。
