Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
The Hay Wain is an extraordinary oil on canvas by the British painter John Constable, one of England's most praised painters. The artist particularly excelled at landscape painting, in which he left his mark in Art History. Along with J. M. W. Turner, Constable brought attention to his country's artistic production, which in previous decades couldn't compete with France or Spain while emphasizing landscape painting's aesthetic potential. Before the Impressionists turned en plein air painting into a common practice, Constable was already painting outdoors. He not only made many sketches, some with a strong gestural aspect to it, but would even go to finish entire works in nature. The Hay Wain is possibly his most notorious artwork and an excellent example of the Constable approach.
Part of London's National Gallery and painted in 1821, the work has impressive dimensions: 130.2 cm × 185.4 cm. The painter used to call these pictures "six-footers" for their size, and they were painted with the Royal Academy shows in mind. At the time of its exhibition, the painting was called Noon: Landscape, and it wasn't particularly well-received in the UK since no one had the interest in buying it. In France, on the other hand, the piece was praised by Gericault, which prompted Constable to participate in the Paris Salon of 1824 with a collection of his works. At the Salon, he was awarded a Gold Medal, and some believe that the painting even impacted Delacroix, one of the most important French painters.
In Constable's work, it's possible to notice a light impasto and small brushstrokes, a characteristic that must be observed up close to understand the master's manner. Many parts of The Hay Wain have an exciting rhythm through his detailed and rich colors and brushstrokes, such as in the leaves behind the pond, which go from a very warm green to blue. In every part of the canvas, it's possible to witness these little details that Constable seemed to employ effortlessly. In the artwork, the viewer can see a cart with three black horses passing through the water. Green, brown, and blue are the dominant colors of this stunning landscape, portraying with full expressiveness this warm and sunny day.
