Landscape: a stream running between trees is a 1796 by John Constable, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
John Constable made this early landscape drawing in 1796. It shows a stream between trees in Suffolk. The sketchbook it comes from is one of his earliest dated works. Constable wasn’t planning to be an artist yet. His father wanted him in the family business. That same year he met a writer collecting rural scenes, but none of Constable’s sketches made it into the final book. Check out more of Constable’s drawings at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
