# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  John Constable was born in Suffolk on 11 June 1776 and made the landscape around Dedham Vale — the stretch between Suffolk and Essex where he grew up — the subject of a lifetime's work. "Painting is but another word for feeling," he told a friend in 1821, and he poured that intensity into pictures like Wivenhoe Park (1816) and The Hay Wain (1821). England barely bought them. He wasn't elected to the Royal Academy until he was 52, and financial success never came. France saw what his country missed: his work sold across the Channel and lit a spark for the Barbizon school. He died on 31 March 1837, having revolutionized landscape painting for a audience that would only fully arrive after he was gone.
