Painting by John Constable

The Valley Farm is an 1835 landscape painting by the British artist John Constable.[1] Produced towards the end of his career, it features a view of the River Stour on the border of Essex and Suffolk in Eastern England. Now known as Constable Country, it depicts Willy Lott’s Cottage at Flatford, a landscape he had painted a number of times.

The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1835 in London, but critical reception was more muted than previous reviews of Constable’s works.[2] Today the painting is in the collection of the Tate Britain in Pimlico, having been gifted to the nation by the art collector Robert Vernon in 1847.[3]
