Abstract

The article discusses an exhibition at Tate Britain that celebrates the landscape painter John Constable. It highlights Constable's struggle to catch up with his rival J.M.W. Turner and his popularity among the British public. The exhibition focuses on Constable's large paintings, known as his "six-footers," and his sketches, which are seen as forerunners of Impressionism. The article also explores Constable's search for a style that conveys his direct experience of nature and his connection to the religious revival and resistance to the Industrial Revolution in England.
