Constable: A Country Rebel

Cheer~~~a peace officer with limited policing authority, typically in a small town.😊

The BBC creates the best documentaries.

Thank you for posting this. 🙏

So blurry the paintings can't be recognized. Why bother with tiny blurry photos?

I think that they should make a film about him and his work and life

This makes me want to see some of those paintings. ❤

A lovely documentary on a great landscape painter. No booming music or modern politics or flashy editing, no monotone naration or confusing non-linear narrative. I love it.

my gran used to take me on day trips to Brighton during my two weeks staying with her in the summer.......a respite from the rigors of grammar school

his England is much like the one I remember growing up in there in the 1950's

He was more English in his artistry than any lefty critic can deal with... The true English - (those with deep ancestry - unchanging in this land for centuries - and now much despised) simply adore Constable with immediate ease and joy as one of their own - the genuine Englishman... But the 'metro elites' ... no offense, but you guys will never understand the true England.
One needs to be an arch conservative - and cultural rebel against those progressives that govern us (always against our will) and destroy everything which we most love ... Constable was the greatest painter of England that ever was.

So English ? So revolutionary ? Why so many words? We have similar landscape paintings about 100 years earlier by Jacob Van Ruisdael as Waterfall at sunset or Oaks at a lake which I prefer.

Excellent biography, thanks

Gosto e me inspiro tanto em Jhon Constable, que já assisti esse vídeo várias vezes. Nunca fiz nenhum curso de artes, mas gosto de desenhar apenas paisagens a lápis. Tenho muita vontade de conhecer esses lugares onde Constable viveu e pintou obras maravilhosas, mas ainda não tenho condições financeiras pra realizar esse sonho.
Parabéns pelo excelentíssimo conteúdo desse vídeo. Vou assistir mais vezes. Amo esse artista.... JHON CONSTABLE.

Que belleza

How can you ride a bike with such a terrible seat position?

Superb doc. The production, writing, and especially narration were all spot on.

"His paintings are like accumulations of marks..."

Nailed it!

A bit hyperbolic about the 'social conditions' at the time; also, the wagoner and other workers are hardly idealized in the painting.

As ever, shame about the snide presentation. But the pictures are great.

Que vient faire,à troubler l'exposition et à m' ennuyer, ce goderulau à la chemise froissée devant les tableaux que qui regarde ce vidèot voudrait bien pouvoir contempler sans l' aide de ses commentaires ?

Captivating. Thank you. Heureux que John Constable ait été admiré en France ! Happy he was admired in France.

I think that Great Britain is the only country in 'Europe' to have successfully fought off Communism and Fascism?

Great documentary- as long as no one disturbs me as I imbibe the information here! Thank you, Mr Sooke. Elizabeth Darley, artist in UK

£250 in 1824 is about £30,000 in 2021. aproximately. Not a bad income for one painting.

The truth is, the cathedral is a Roman Catholic building from pre Reformation/Revolution in the Church in England.

So, Turner was the rich kid and Constable was the poor kid, well, relatively speaking!!!!

Oooh! Listen to the honest social economics stated here! Refreshing to hear someone say it! Economics is very revealing if as unbiased as possible.

Constable must have been an influence for Sir John Everet Millais.

If John Constable was foreign rather than British, the Brits would love him!

He must have been inspired by van Dyke.

Remembering John Constable... Thanks again for your upload !!!

The most irritating art critic out there. Posh boy band stupidity.

Growing up we had a copy of the Hay Wain and visiting Flatford Mill was truly special to be at the place I had grown up with

John Constable is my family ancestor.

When i get my business and money going, i will travel and paint all over. Not to sell and make money. Not to stoke my ego. But to pursue that which cannot be attained or explained. Its like you are transported somewhere else once you tap into the zone. Many ways to get there, but for me its painting.....or riding a bike.

This asshle on a bicycle is insufferable. I quit. This is a real POS.

Death to the west and its abusive people and inhuman cruel. We made mistake giving you hospitality. You did not and do not deserve any of it.

William Turner was truly a great man amd painter the rest were animals and useless.

Nice!

What implications does this have on your qualifications, if any??? As a non licensed observer I think it would be amazing if you could share any N.T.S.B. or FAA processes involved with an (infraction)? Or just an (/accident) ? I know your channel is for "in" guys but, I'm sure some of us you have drawn in with you skills and amazing engineering wonder what happens in unforeseen issues like this...

'The painting of this dog is delicious. Good enough to eat.' This guy and his opinions are getting on my nerves. Wish he'd calm down and reveal what is. That's enough thank you.

I enjoyed this and agree that Constable was an important and revolutionary painter, but he owed much to the Dutch landscape artists of the 17th century, van Ruisdael for example, not least in his study of huge skies over low landscapes.

Fanatastic!

This is called art not that contempory crap that is pushed down our throat these days.

I wish I could save these beautiful pictures
