Chain Pier, Brighton (painting)

Chain Pier, Brighton is a landscape painting by the British artist John Constable.The Pier was opened in 1823 and remained a prominent feature of the Brighton seafront until it collapsed in 1896.[2] It was the largest and most important work from Constable's visits to Brighton where his wife went to recover her health.[3] With a storm about to break[4] it shows the bustling activity on the beach with the new hotels and wealthy residences in the background.Today it is part of the collection of the Tate Britain in London having been purchased in 1950.
