Abstract

First published in 1843 & reissued here in its expanded second edition of 1845, this biography represents an early & informed portrait of the prolific landscape artist & draughtsman John Constable. An upbringing in the East Anglian countryside & his first sighting of a painting by Claude Lorrain inspired his lifelong dedication to capturing scenes from nature, reflected in early works such as Dedham Vale (1802) & in his mature masterpieces, notably The Hay Wain (1821). Prepared by Charles Robert Leslie, a close friend & fellow member of the Royal Academy, this work is based principally on his collection of Constable's letters & papers, drawing also on friends' accounts of the artist. Illuminating his relationship with Maria Bicknell & the influence of early mentor Sir George Beaumont, the book details the development of Constable's career, revealing the nature of his opinions & anxieties.

Abstract

John Constable's most important paintings have their source in a relatively small area of East Anglia, where he was born and where he spent the first twenty years of his life. These magnificent pictures are crucial to the understanding of the history of landscape painting and of British art, and are the central concern of this book. Michael Rosenthal has drawn extensively on the published and unpublished documentation about Constable and his associates. He considers such topics as the relationship between Constable's painting and contemporary literature, and the effect of the artist's local background on his perception of the landscape. This last theme encompasses not only a comparison of the paintings with the landscapes that they represent but also an analysis of how Constable's own particular social status as the son of a middle-class landowner affected the way he saw the landscape - what he considered worth noticing, for instance - and how these perceptions changed. Rosenthal's lavishly illustrated book provides the first detailed historical and biographical study of the most important group of Constable's paintings. Its close attention to the social and economic developments of the era throws a new and penetrating light on these beautiful paintings.

The re-creation of landscape : a study of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Constable, and Turner.
