What is John Constable about?

John Constable (1776-1837) Is Best Known For His Idyllic Pictures 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 With Unprecedented Dedication, 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, Playing A Part In The Development Of Impressionism In France. This Book Draws Extensively On The Artist's Own Correspondence To Provide A New Understanding Of His Artistic Aims And Achievements, And Reassesses His Role In The Development Of Modern Art.--jacket.
