The Lock, 1824
EDITORS COMMENTS
by John Constable is a captivating oil painting that beautifully captures the essence of English landscape and river life. In this print, we are transported to the Stour River where barges pass through a lock, creating a serene and picturesque scene. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he expertly portrays the play of light on water and the lush greenery surrounding the lock. The composition draws us into the tranquil setting, allowing us to imagine ourselves standing on its banks, observing the bargemen skillfully maneuvering their vessels. This particular print of "The Lock" holds significant historical value as it belongs to Baroness Carmen Thyssen Bornemisza's private collection. Acquired directly from Constable himself, it has only been sold once since then at an auction in 1990 for an astounding £10.8 million. At that time, it became the most valuable British painting ever sold and held this record for an impressive 16 years. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we can appreciate not only its artistic brilliance but also its cultural significance within British art history. "The Lock" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and serves as a testament to John Constable's mastery in capturing nature's fleeting moments on canvas.
