Turner and Constable: Art, Life, Landscape

Description:

Born just fourteen months apart, one in London and the other in rural Suffolk, J. M. W. Turner and John Constable went on to change the face of British art   The two men have routinely been seen as polar opposites, not least by their peers. Differing in temperament, background, beliefs, and vision, they created images as dissimilar as their personalities.   Yet in many ways they were fellow travellers. As children of the late eighteenth century, both faced the same challenges and opportunities. Above all, they shared common cause as champions of a distinctively British art. Through their work, they fought for the recognition and appreciation of landscape painting–and in doing so ensured their reputations were forever intertwined and interlinked.   Nicola Moorby offers us a fresh perspective on two extraordinary artists, uncovering the layers of fiction that have embellished and disguised their greatest achievements. For Turner & Constable is not just a tale of two artists; it is also the story of the triumph of landscape painting.

5.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining and informative read

S. · 28 May 2025

An excellent read comparing, contrasting and aligning Turner and Constable’s upbringings, careers, lives, works and legacies in a detailed but fascinating and entertaining way. Very informative and never dull, I thoroughly enjoyed it and had little prior knowledge of anything but the most widely known paintings. A beautifully written and comprehensive study.

Fantastic book about my 2 favorite British artists. What more could you want?

A really fine book.

F. · 30 April 2025

A really excellent book. It's well written and the narrative flows beautifully. Full of interesting details, a fascinating tour de force about two great painters who evolved the art as if almost side by side. An easy, and always interesting book. No dead paragraphs indeed.

An informative and well-written study of two famed painters, linked by age and nationality (but not by personality). Landscape art is the primary thread tying John Constable with J.M.W. Turner, as pointed out here by the highly capable author, Nicola Moorby.Those interested in the development of Western art, especially within England, will greatly enjoy this book of intertwined biography and cultural history.
