This is a reproduction of “The Lock” of 1824 by John Constable. The artist was a native of Suffolk who died in 1837 at the age of sixty-one years. He is one of the greatest English landscape painters but did not become recognized until he was elected to the Royal Academy at the age of fifty-two. He struggled financially until then with his works selling better in France than in England. This landscape features the lock and canal system of England which led to its industrial growth in the Nineteenth Century. The painting is 120 cm wide and 142.2 cm high and is in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid.
