Tour: Constable and Turner — British Landscapes of the Early 1800s
Overview
The landscape painters Turner and Constable were
influential exponents of romanticism, an artistic movement of the late 1700s
to mid-1800s that emphasized an emotional response to nature. Turner, who
traveled extensively, often infused his dramatic seascapes and landscapes
with literary or historical allusions. Constable, who never left England,
preferred more straight forward depictions of placid rural scenery.
