Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. This is a relatively small book, but profusely illustrated with the works of Constable. It traces his life from childhood to his final days, and the art that reflected his attitudes during those periods. Constable (1776-1837) was classified among the English Romantic school, and, today is admired for his landscapes - mostly from the surrounding areas of Dedham Vale, his home in Suffolk. He found, early on, that he could not make a living from his landscape paintings, so resorted to portrait painting, which provided him an income such that he could still paint his outdoor scenes. Throughout his life, he was more admired in France than in his native England, selling most of his paintings there. His two most famous paintings were: "The Hay Wain" (1821), and "Dedham Vale" (1802). He was finally elected to The Royal Academy at the age of 52. During his lifetime, he was friends with Benjamin West, and Charles Leslie, along with the other artists who were members of the Academy. The extracts of letters presented in this book were selected to better understand specific paintings and Constable's feelings and thoughts at the time.
