Sinossi
Excerpt from John Constable R. A
Leslie was amply justified in the result. He has not overweighted his book with detail, nor has be given us scrappy quotations from his letters; the blend is an easy narrative Of Constable's life, his cares, his ambitions, his failures and his successes, which gives the reader a very clear idea Of the personality Of this man who exercised so great an influence upon the landscape-painting of the nineteenth century.
This work was my main source Of information until the private letters used by Leslie, letters from Constable to Archdeacon Fisher, to Mr. George Constable, to Dunthorne, and also letters from his mother and sisters, and his brother Abram to himself, fell into my hands.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the life and artistic journey of John Constable, a pivotal figure in the landscape painting movement of the 19th century. Born in 1776, Constable's early life was spent in the tranquil countryside of Suffolk, England, where the rolling hills, vast skies, and meandering rivers left a lasting impression on the young artist. Initially inspired by the works of Claude Lorrain and Thomas Gainsborough, Constable's unique style developed through diligent observation and a deep connection with the natural world. His paintings, characterized by their atmospheric quality, use light, color, and movement to capture the essence of the English landscape, transforming fleeting moments into timeless works of art. The author draws upon Constable's letters and other writings to provide insights into his artistic philosophy and personal life, revealing his struggles, triumphs, and unwavering commitment to his craft. This book illuminates Constable's significant contribution to landscape painting, his influence on subsequent generations of artists, and his enduring legacy as one of Britain's most celebrated painters.
