John Constable and JMW Turner are seen as the two definitive British artists of the 19th century. As we will discuss, both artists were highly innovative in their own way and took art in new and fascinating directions. The two men and their art were very different: Turner a boy prodigy who soon entered the Royal Academy, Constable a slow-burner who took years to be recognised. Turner outgoing and progressive, Constable taciturn and conservative. Yet both were important artists in the evolution of French Impressionism as we will discuss: Constable’s ‘The Haywain’ and Turner’s ‘Rain, Steam and Speed’ are key pictures.
