Item description from seller

Cloth, 4to, 30 cm, 148 pp. 20 colour plates, 55 monochrome plates, 13 text ills. From the blurb: "[Constable's] work in watercolour or oil, whether as sketch or finished Academy painting, is at the highest international level. He can lay claim to be a forerunner of the Impressionists. The attraction of Constable as a subject for study is strong because he would never have made this "immodest" claim: the work was the man and he was both simple and humble. Mr Peacock has divided his book into three parts: The Man and His Work; The Romantic Vision; and there is a section on Constable's pictures of Ships and the Sea. The illustrations in Mr Peacock's book, generous in number, are wide-ranging. In addition to pictures from public galleries he has been privileged to select examples not hitherto reproduced from private collections both here and abroad. They include numerous subjects in colour. There is also a large number of monochrome plates, and sketches and more informal pieces from sketchbooks." Very Good in Near Very Good dustwrapper.
