A DELL, HELMINGHAM PARK, SUFFOLK is a 1830 by John Constable, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a quiet English wooded valley. John Constable made it using mezzotint, a tricky print technique that creates soft, rich tones. At the end, Constable added his own handwork to some plates to boost the sky’s glow and foliage depth. After he died, others kept making fresh prints from the same metal plates. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of Constable’s landscape prints.
