 The English landscape artists
• John Constable (1776-1837 exhibited with great success
at the so-called English Salon of 1824.
• Together with Joseph Mallord William Turner(1775-
1851), they were largely responsible for introducing a
new approach to landscape painting that was to have a
major influence on European art.
• They brought to landscape painting a respect for
location, a belief that the commonplace was worth
painting and that changing atmospheric effects (light and
weather) were an essential part of the landscape.
