Traces the life and career of the great English landscape painter and discusses the influence of his background and literature of the period on his work

This exhibition catalog accompanies a major exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, marking the first showing of John Constable's paintings in the United States. Curated by Graham Reynolds, a leading Constable specialist, it features a range of works from small outdoor oil sketches to large finished paintings, highlighting both the landscape subjects Constable favored and his artistic evolution. During Constable's lifetime, England was divided into thirty-nine counties, and he painted scenes primarily from six: Suffolk, Essex, Middlesex, Wiltshire, Dorset, and Sussex. Unlike his contemporary Turner, who explored a broader geographical scope, Constable focused on a limited area, creating a distinct sense of place in his work. The publication includes an introduction to Constable and his oeuvre, along with catalog entries featuring color illustrations of the exhibited works, organized by location. Additional resources include a biographical summary, a chronology of Constable's life, a sketched map of "Constable's England," a bibliography, and suggestions for further reading. Originally published in 1983, this edition is a print-on-demand version of the original book.

This volume gives a quick biography, an explanation of the elements of style, and fifty of paintings of John Cibstable.
