Published to coincide with the 250thth anniversaries of their births, alongside a major exhibition at Tate Britain, explore the work, careers and relationship between two of Britain’s best loved landscape painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable.

Drawing on the very best of their work, the book reveals the ways in which the painters offered two competing and highly original visions of landscape painting, both of which remain powerfully resonant today. Each challenged the artistic norms of their time while also responding to the transformative social, political, economic and environmental developments of the early nineteenth century. Defying convention, they proved that landscape painting could be a vehicle for profound reflections on life as they saw it, paving the way for landscape art to become a vital arena for artistic expression.

Despite all their differences, the ways in which these painters presented a radical challenge to artistic norms led them to be described by their contemporaries in similar ways. They were simultaneously celebrated as the two great ‘originals’ of contemporary British art but also attacked as eccentric outsiders whose work was increasingly puzzling and illegible.

Turner and Constable will offer a chance to directly compare highlights from the full span of the two artists’ careers. This fresh and ambitious presentation of their work will inspire many to re-connect with these beloved artists anew and equally inspire those who are less familiar with their work to appreciate its vitality, soul and enduring power.

本书的出版恰逢J.M.W.透纳与约翰·康斯太勃尔诞辰250周年，同时配合泰特不列颠美术馆的大型展览，深入探究这两位英国最受喜爱的风景画家的作品、艺术生涯及其之间的关系。

本书精选了两位画家的杰出作品，揭示了他们在风景画领域呈现出的两种既相互竞争又极具独创性的视角，而这两种视角在今日依然具有强烈的共鸣。他们各自挑战了当时的艺术规范，同时也回应了19世纪早期社会、政治、经济和环境方面的变革性发展。他们打破常规，证明风景画可以成为对自己所理解的生活进行深刻反思的载体，为风景画成为艺术表达的重要领域铺平了道路。

尽管两人存在诸多差异，但他们对艺术规范发起的激进挑战，使得同时代的人对他们有着相似的评价。他们既被赞誉为当代英国艺术界两位伟大的“原创者”，又被抨击为古怪的局外人，其作品越来越令人费解、难以理解。

《透纳与康斯太勃尔》将提供一个直接对比两位艺术家整个艺术生涯中亮点作品的机会。这种对他们作品新颖且宏大的呈现方式，将启发许多人重新与这些备受喜爱的艺术家建立联系，同时也会激励那些不太熟悉他们作品的人去欣赏其活力、灵魂与持久的影响力。
