• John Constable is best known for his idyllic paintings of the English countryside.
• Yet he was also a brilliant innovator who brought a new vivacity to the observation of nature.
• He practiced oil painting in the open air, capturing in particular the 'effervescent' effects of atmospherics as can be seen, for example, in his wonderful studies of clouds.
• His art became a benchmark for naturalist painters throughout Europe and America in the nineteenth century, and he continues to be one of the most popular and influential artists to this day.
• This book draws extensively on the artist's own correspondence to provide a fresh understanding of his artistic aims and achievements, and reassesses his role in the development of modern art.
