Mill at Gillingham, Dorset is an oil on canvas by John Constable. Constable was one of the great artists from the 19th-century and a key figure in the upcoming radical shifts that art was about to be undertaken. Throughout his whole career, Constable was dedicated to landscape painting. When he began his artistic path, the genre was considered a minor kind of production compared to the glorified mythological, religious, and historical painting. Constable was firm on his conviction and kept investing his time in landscapes, immortalizing England’s idyllic rural scenes. In Mill at Gillingham, Dorset, there is yet another example of the painter’s detailed manner, his skill in giving life and organicity to his pictures, and his depiction of a harmonious relationship between humankind and nature.
Mill at Gillingham, Dorset is an artwork dated from 1824. The 1820s were a period of success for Constable. The artist established a good network of patrons and dealers, as he was critically praised for his participation in the Royal Academy shows, which took a long time to happen. Part of Constable’s critical success came from his interest on a bigger scale, his famous group of “six-footers.” On the other hand, this work is 24.8 x 30 cm and shows a more intimate side of the painter while maintaining his usual attention to detail and his unmistakable style. The artwork was commissioned by his close friend Archdeacon John Fisher and now is part of The Fitzwilliam Museum collection.
The painting was created on an almost square canvas. The composition is roughly cut by the middle, where there is the horizon line and the sky, one of the most impressive and dynamic parts of Constable’s artworks, begins. The water, which is at the bottom part of the picture flowing through the mill and forming a pond, mirrors the sky. The sky is grey and cloudy, suggesting that rain is approaching, and the water is a dark green and grey. The painting’s palette is mostly green and brown, one of the constant feats of Constable. Through a variety of greens, the painter portrayed vivid vegetation around the pond, painting different kinds of leaves, plants, and trees. On the left, there is a subtle rainbow. A figure enters the house on the right, while a woman is seen washing her hands in the water.
