"Constable" by C. Lewis Hind is a biographical account of the renowned English landscape painter John Constable, delineated during the early 20th century. The book explores Constable’s life, art, and the profound impact he had on landscape painting, particularly emphasizing his naturalistic approach that departed from the established traditions of his time. It provides insights into his major works and the broader context of the art world in which he operated. The narrative unpacks Constable's evolution as an artist, beginning with his formative years in Suffolk and his discovery of the beauty of nature. Hind discusses pivotal moments in Constable's career, such as the exhibition of "The Hay Wain" in 1824 at the Paris Salon, which marked a significant shift in landscape art and garnered widespread acclaim. The text delves into episodes from Constable's personal life, including the impact of his wife's death on his artistic output, and examines his lesser-known sketches alongside his more celebrated pieces. Ultimately, the book encapsulates Constable's legacy as a painter deeply connected to the rural English landscape, whose innovative techniques have influenced generations of artists.
