Arguably Britain?s greatest landscape painter, Constable lived in Suffolk. Whilst learning his father?s trade as a miller, Constable had to study the sky carefully, a skill that he later used as an artist. In 1799 he enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools. For some years his work was more appreciated in France, than in England. Impressionist painters learnt from him the importance of painting out-of-doors to capture the changing weather and the effect of daylight on a rural scene.
