One of my all-time favourite paintings is the Hay Wain (1821) by John Constable.
I grew up with a large replica hanging above the family fireplace – a replica which I used to study often as I got taller to look at it. The painting (which as I write is my current desktop wallpaper) has aged well over the last 190 years, and to this day I still admire its depth and detailed depiction of the Suffolk landscape.
