约翰·康斯太勃尔以他描绘英国乡村田园风光的画作而闻名，但他同时也是一位杰出的革新者，为观察大自然带来了新的活力。他的艺术成为19世纪欧洲和美国自然主义画家的基准，直到今天，他仍然是最受欢迎和最有影响力的艺术家之一。  

本书展示了艺术家自己的信件，对他的艺术目标和成就提供了一个新的理解，并重新评估了他在现代艺术发展中的作用。  

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.

John Constable (1776-1837) 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 19th century, and he continues to be one of the most popular and influential artists today. 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.
