A captivating celebration of one of the most important painters of the nineteenth century and the continuing relevance of his work John Constable (1776–1837) is considered one of England’s greatest landscape painters. Underappreciated in his lifetime, Constable achieved international acclaim following his death and was a major inspiration for Eugène Delacroix, the Barbizon School painters, the Impressionists, and many others. His luminous and expressionistic depictions of the English countryside, often rendered from direct observation, are widely credited with revolutionizing the genre of landscape painting and exerting a profound influence on nineteenth-century modernism. Showcasing the deep collection of Constable’s work at the Yale Center for British Art, this lavishly illustrated volume situates the artist within the culture of his time and considers his rich legacy. Constable features engaging essays that chronicle the painter’s life and late-blooming career, explore how the reception of his work evolved across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and reveal the significance of his vision to contemporary discussions on art and climate science.
