John Constable completed this English woodland scene with his characteristic attention to natural effects. Trees frame a view into the forest interior, light filtering through leaves to illuminate the undergrowth. Constable's observation of specific places and weather conditions revolutionized landscape painting.
The artist believed in painting nature truthfully rather than idealizing it. His broken brushwork captures the movement of foliage in breeze. This painting hangs at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.
