Figure 27.1 JOHN CONSTABLE, The Haywain, 1821. Oil on canvas, 4 ft. 3^1 ⁄ 2 in. 6 ft. 1 in.

The artist originally titled this painting Landscape: Noon.On the specificity of time and place,

he remarked, “No two days are alike, not even two hours; neither were there ever any two

leaves alike since the creation of the world.”

“Beauty in art is truth bathed in an impression received from nature.”
