This page was overwritten by an anon with the text from theartgallery.com.au. That looks like a very good source of information should someone want to integrate it into the article. I've reverted the changes and hope someone can expand this stub. violet/riga (t) 10:03, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
It looks like Dedham has been the single most popular subject of Constable's paintings. However, I can't find any solid information about it, and nothing at all in WP. Has that place fallen off the map? Rl 15:33, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Just passing by, but can anyone add information about Stoke-by-Nayland? It's a sketch and an oil-on-canvas painting. Blue Wizard 21:09, 13 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
there should be moer about what techinces he used
In the intro to J M W Turner it rightly states that Turner was a major precursor of Impressionism. Should not the same be stated here for John Constable, who also shares this enviable privilege? While it does state that John Constable was such a precursor, in a low-key sort of way, lower down in the article, maybe it can be given the same frontline type of prominence we find in the Turner article? Just a suggestion I leave to others to ponder over. thanks Peter morrell 07:45, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Maybe...but I think you should provide a sound reference for your contention, as there are numerous references that claim J M W Turner and John Constable, as well as Boudin, as the major precursors of Impressionism. You have to counter those with an even better reference, I would suggest. As things stand it seems incontestible that all three were indeed just about equally precursors in techniqueofImpressionism. So I fail to see your objection to the mooted amendment.Peter morrell 09:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
PS. I never used the word inspired, I said precursor....so how can you say 'inspired is a bit strong?' you clearly misread it.Peter morrell
I am planning to expand the article, with a view to perhaps putting it forward for FAC, all being well. The last time I developed the page, I was thinking of submitting for Good Article but didn't have enough sources at my fingertips then. Now I have most of the best sources available to me and will try to do the job properly. For a while, the article may be unbalanced while I build up one part or another—I'm going to start with the analysis sections and turn to the biography later. (I will probably overdo things at first and trim later.) I've started by putting in a good bibliography: as time goes by, all these sources will be cited. qp10qp (talk) 10:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
There are numerous footnotes to "Parkinson 1998", yet the book isn't listed in the Bibliography section, so what book is "Parkinson 1998"?--Johnbull (talk) 20:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Constable painted a few windmills, amongst them one at Folkestone. A copy of the image has been uploaded to Commons and can be found here. Feel free to add it to the article. I'm not sure where to add it so will leave it to others more familiar with the subject. Mjroots (talk) 16:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
The link to the article "Chocolate Box Art" has no context whatsoever, nor any explanation of its raison d'être within this article. I can furthermore sense implicit critical undertones. I am an average reader, and not a "Wikipedian", so I apologize if this comment does not follow your guidelines. Julia 24.255.25.146 (talk) 15:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I removed the photograph of Hylands House because, contrary to what the caption said, Constable did not live there 1809-1811. He was at that time living in London. It was his maternal aunt, Mrs Gubbins, and her family who lived in Hylands House and Constable visited them there. Judging from the letters listed here https://www.reed.edu/art/rhyne/papers/jc_chronology.pdf for 1809-1811, there were occasional short visits. Southdevonian (talk) 20:46, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
