George Stubbs
(1724-1806)
 

George Stubbs ARA was an English painter, best known for his paintings of horses. Self-trained, Stubbs learnt his skills independently from other great artists of the 18th century such as Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough. Stubbs' output includes history paintings, but his greatest skill was in painting animals (such as horses, dogs and lions), perhaps influenced by his love and study of anatomy. His series of paintings on the theme of a lion attacking a horse are early and significant examples of the Romantic movement that emerged in the late 18th century. He enjoyed royal patronage. His painting Whistlejacket hangs in the National Gallery, London.

 John Constable
(1776 - 1837)
 

John Constable RA was an English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for revolutionising the genre of landscape painting with his pictures of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home – now known as "Constable Country" – which he invested with an intensity of affection. "I should paint my own places best", he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, "painting is but another word for feeling".

The painting was commissioned by the owner of Wivenhoe Park, Major General Francis Slater Rebow, who was among the artist's first patrons, being a close friend of the artist's father, Golding Constable. Wivenhoe Park is 200 acres (81 ha) of parkland, purchased by the Rebow family before 1734. Slater-Rebow commissioned several paintings from Constable, including a portrait of the general's seven-year-old daughter in 1812. She also figures in this painting, in a donkey cart to the left. This painting, finished in September 1816, earned the artist enough money to allow him to marry his long-time love, Mary Bicknell. They married in October 1816.

In the early 1960s, Rita Angus was horrified to hear that thousands of graves would be shifted from Wellington’s Bolton Street Cemetery to make way for a new urban motorway. Angus was keenly aware of her Anglo-Scottish heritage and New Zealand’s 19th-century history, and saw both reflected in the colonial cemetery.
Angus visited the site regularly before and during the demolition, making careful records of specific headstones and inscriptions. A lifelong pacifist, she was drawn to a carved stone dove among the piled-up headstones at the demolition site. Angus sketched the dove in pencil, before including it in this work - her last completed painting.
