About the painting
Yarmouth Jetty is an 1822 landscape painting by the British artist John Constable. It depicts a view of the jetty in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. Constable was from neighbouring Suffolk, although there is only one recorded trip he made to Norfolk during his career.
A version of the painting was one of three submitted by Constable to the Salon of 1824 in Paris where his work drew great praise and he was awarded a gold medal.
At least three versions of the painting are in existence. The work that was exhibited at the British Institution in 1823 is now in the National Gallery of Art. Another version dating from around 1824 and exhibited at the 1824 Salon is now in the collection of Tate Britain in London having been part of the Salting Bequest of 1910. The jetty was also painted by the Norfolk landscape artist John Crome.

The Paris Salon: a gold medal
The Anglo-French dealer John Arrowsmith bought The Hay Wain and other works, and in 1824 they were shown at the Paris Salon, where they caused a sensation. The Hay Wain was awarded a gold medal by Charles X.
1824
Delacroix repaints the background of “The Massacre at Chios”
After seeing Constable’s pictures at Arrowsmith’s gallery, Delacroix repainted the background of his Massacre at Chios, saying the paintings had done him a great deal of good. In his journal he noted that Constable’s meadow greens are a combination of many different shades.
1824–1828
The family in Brighton for Maria’s health
When Maria began to show symptoms of tuberculosis, Constable took lodgings for the family in Brighton in the hope that sea air would restore her health, dividing his time between Brighton and Charlotte Street in London. He was unsure at first that Brighton suited painting, and complained to Fisher that the beach was only Piccadilly by the sea.
1825
A quarrel with Arrowsmith: the French market is lost
In 1825 Constable quarrelled with Arrowsmith and lost his French outlet, perhaps partly from worry over his wife’s health, the uncongenial life at Brighton and the pressure of outstanding commissions. In a few years he had sold more than twenty pictures in France, more than he sold at home.
