The presentation is about Constable

2. John Constable

3. • his outlook on nature was primarily
naturalistic;
• Suffolk’s countryside became the subject of a
large proportion of his art;
• his usual subjects, scenes of ordinary daily life,
were unfashionable;
• he understood the science of picture-making
as well as any other artist.

4. “Painting is a science
and should be pursued
as an inquiry into the
laws of nature. Why,
then, may not a
landscape be
considered as a branch
of natural philosophy, of
which pictures are but
experiments?”
by John Constable
