Top page ridge and half-title page foxed. 1976 Large Hardcover. 204 pp. John Constable RA (11 June 1776 - 31 March 1837) was an English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition. Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for revolutionising the genre of landscape painting with his pictures of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home - now known as "Constable Country" - which he invested with an intensity of affection. "I should paint my own places best", he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, "painting is but another word for feeling". Constable's most famous paintings include Wivenhoe Park (1816), Dedham Vale (1821) and The Hay Wain (1821). Although his paintings are now among the most popular and valuable in British art, he was never financially successful. He became a member of the establishment after he was elected to the Royal Academy of Arts at the age of 52. His work was embraced in France, where he sold more than in his native England and inspired the Barbizon school.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Constables meest geliefde onderwerp was het landschap van zijn jeugd aan de Engelse oostkust in de buurt van Harwich. Geen kunstenaar schilderde eerder zoveel in de buitenlucht als hij. Sterk geïnspireerd door de manier waarop oude meesters als Ruisdael, Rembrandt en Rubens het Nederlandse landschap weergaven, benaderde hij het Engelse landschap met een originele en open blik. Zo kon hij het effect vangen van plotselinge weersveranderingen. Constable was gefascineerd door de kleuren en vormen van wolken, regenbogen en andere atmosferische verschijnselen en hield nauwkeurig bij onder welke weers- en lichtomstandigheden hij geschilderd had.00Achter zijn scherpe natuurobservatie schemert een heftig gevoelsleven. Geluk en verdriet, liefde en vriendschap gaan schuil in licht, lucht en landschap. ?Painting is but another word for feeling,? schreef hij aan een vriend. Zijn stijl was zo vernieuwend dat tijdgenoten er lange tijd geen raad mee wisten. Zijn werk werd een inspiratiebron voor veel kunstenaars, van de School van Barbizon en de Franse impressionisten tot aan kunstenaars van nu. Hij wordt gezien als een van de vaders van de moderne schilderkunst.00Exhibition: Teylers Museum, Haarlem, The Netherlands (19.09.2020-31.01.2021).
