Marks and inscriptions | " On the bach of modern mount was written in pencil " Chain Pier Brighton John Constable R.A. 340-1888 Sunshine-"" B.S.L. 29/11/1922." (Inscribed on the back in pencil by Mr. B.S. Long, formerly keeper of the Department of Paintings. There is no indication of the origin of the inscription copied here, but no doubt it was based on a note made by the artist.) |
Object history | Given by Isabel Constable in 1888 |
Historical context | In 1824 Constable's sole exhibit at the Royal Academy was 'A Boat passing a Lock' ('The Lock') (now in the collection of Mr. S. Morrison). 'The Hay Wain', the 'View on the Stour near Dedham' and a 'View of Hampstead Heath' were exhibited at the Salon in Paris in this year. He took his wife and family to Brighton for the first time in May, and himself spent some time in London and some with them in Brighton, returning before them at the end of August. |
