A Hilltop (His Native Village) is a 1809 unspecified by John Constable, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a hilltop in the distance, set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. The hill is covered with trees and appears to be the artist's native village. In the foreground, a field stretches out, dotted with a few trees and what appears to be a small building or fence. The painting's color palette is muted, with shades of green, brown, and grey dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The painting's focus on the natural world and its use of light and color to evoke a sense of atmosphere and mood are reminiscent of the work of John Constable.
John Constable (; 11 June 1776 – 31 March 1837) was an English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition.
