John
Constable was born June 11, 1776, in East Bergholt, Suffolk.
His father was a wealthy corn merchant. Constable was
educated at Dedham Grammar School, and after he left school
he worked in his father's business. His heart was not
in it, however, and in 1799 he induced his father to send
him to the Royal Academy in London to study art.
In 1816 Constable became financially secure with money
left to him when his father died. He married Maria Bicknell
despite the opposition of her family. The couple were
happy together, and Constable was plunged into depression
on her death in 1828.
