Hampstead Heath, with a Bonfire

Hampstead Heath, with a Bonfire is a c.1822 landscape painting by the British artist John Constable. It depicts a view of Hampstead Heath, close to where Constable and his family had been living since 1819. In several views of the Heath, Constable uses relatively small human figures to emphasise its size. Today it is in the Yale Center for British Art in Connecticut, having been acquired in 1999 through Paul Mellon.
