关于这幅画
Hampstead Heath with the Salt Box is a c.1820 landscape painting by the British artist John Constable. It depicts a view of Hampstead Heath looking across Branch Hill towards Harrow and Highgate, with the spire of St Mary's Church, Harrow seen in the distance on the extreme left. It features a view of the house popularly known as the "Salt Box" due to its design. At the time Hampstead was a village on the rural outskirts of London. It was likely amongst the first Constable produced of the area after first moving there for his wife Maria's health. The viewpoint is from nearby Albion Cottage which they rented in 1819.

In his influential 1843 biography Memoirs of the Life of John Constable, Charles Robert Leslie devoted more attention to this painting than any other. The painting is now in the collection of the Tate Britain in Pimlico, having been donated by artist's daughter Isabel in 1888 as part of the Constable Bequest. An oil sketch in the Victoria and Albert Museum features the Salt Box from a closer distance.

John Constable当时的生活
完整生平1799
Asks his father to let him paint
In 1799 Constable persuaded his father to let him pursue art and received a small allowance. He entered the Royal Academy Schools under the tutelage of Joseph Farington, attending life classes and anatomical dissections and copying old masters.
1802
Turns down a drawing-master post
Constable declined the post of drawing master at Great Marlow Military College, which Benjamin West, then head of the Academy, said would end his career. In a letter to John Dunthorne he admitted he had spent two years seeking the truth at second hand and declared his resolve to become a professional landscape painter.
1802–1803
First exhibitions at the Royal Academy
Constable first showed his work in 1802, and by 1803 he was exhibiting paintings at the Royal Academy.
1816
A marriage against the bride’s grandfather
Maria’s grandfather, Dr Rhudde, rector of East Bergholt, opposed the match: he thought the Constables his social inferiors and threatened to disinherit her. Constable’s parents approved but offered no support until he was financially secure; they died soon afterwards, and he inherited a fifth share of the family business.
23 November 1828
The death of his wife Maria
After the birth of their seventh child the family returned to Hampstead, where Maria died of tuberculosis at the age of 41. “Hourly do I feel the loss of my departed Angel,” Constable wrote to his brother.
