The Grove, Hampstead is an 1822 landscape painting by the British artist John Constable. It depicts a scene in Hampstead then a rural settlement on the northern outskirts of London. The main focus is The Grove, a building now known as the Admiral's House.[1] The building features in a number of Constable's Hampstead paintings.[2] He lived in the area and produced many views of the Heath and landmarks.[3]
The painting was presented to the National Gallery by Constable's daughter Isabel in 1888. In 1962 it was transferred to the collection of the Tate in Pimlico.[4]
