Stratford Mill

Stratford Mill, an 1820 oil on canvas painting by John Constable, is a notable piece of British Romanticism. As the second in a series of six large scale paintings, it provides an evocative snapshot of working life on the River Stour. Characteristic of Constable's style, this landscape captures not only the physicality of the mills and waterways, but the atmosphere and vibrancy of rural productivity. The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery in London.
