About the painting
De Wint was born in Staffordshire, of Dutch ancestry. His naturalistic landscapes were admired by Constable, and this painting was widely praised as his masterpiece. A critic described it as 'an early harvest in July, with the noon-day sun striking down through the summer haze, and bathing a wide champaign in a glowing gold'.
