"Dedham Lock and Mill, 1820" is a painting by the renowned English Romantic painter John Constable. This work is one of Constable's most celebrated landscape paintings and exemplifies his profound connection with the Suffolk countryside, which was a recurring subject in his oeuvre. The painting depicts a serene and pastoral scene of the Stour Valley, where Constable spent his boyhood and which he referred to as "Constable Country."

The artwork features Dedham Lock and the adjacent mill in the heart of the English countryside, capturing the harmonious coexistence of nature and human industry. The composition is carefully balanced, with the lock and mill on the left and a stretch of calm water leading the viewer's eye towards the center of the canvas, where a small boat can be seen. The lush greenery, the reflection of the sky on the water, and the play of light and shadow showcase Constable's skill in rendering the effects of light and atmosphere, which would later influence the Impressionist movement.

Measuring 53.7 cm × 76.2 cm (21.1 in × 30.0 in), "Dedham Lock and Mill" is executed in oil on canvas. It is noted for its attention to detail and the artist's use of naturalistic colors. Constable's brushwork varies throughout the painting, with delicate touches in the depiction of foliage and more vigorous strokes in the portrayal of the clouds, demonstrating his innovative technique.

The painting is part of a series that includes several views of the Stour Valley, reflecting Constable's dedication to capturing the essence of his native landscape. "Dedham Lock and Mill, 1820" is often praised for its idyllic and nostalgic quality, as it evokes a timeless, rural England at the cusp of the Industrial Revolution.

Today, "Dedham Lock and Mill, 1820" is held in a public collection and continues to be admired for its artistic merit and as a testament to Constable's love for the Suffolk countryside.
