Constable: The Leaping Horse
This title is no longer available from the Roland Collection. Details remain on this site for the reference of previous customers.
John Constable was, with Turner, the foremost English landscape painter of the nineteenth century; The Haywain is his most famous picture. Of the green watermeadows and windswept skies of Suffolk he remarked, `These scenes made me a painter.' Here we analyze his Leaping Horse in terms of landscape genre painting as a whole, and look at the skills and techniques available to the artist. We also consider the constraints and possibilities with which the landscape painter worked, including the current market in art and the ideas of Constable's contemporaries about how the countryside could be represented.
