John Constable

1776-1837

Joseph Mallord William Turner

1775-1851


Constable and Turner together share the honor of being the greatest landscape painters of the nineteenth century.  Their works are beyond the scope of this web gallery, yet they represent the culmination of the previous century of landscape painting so important to British culture.  Here are just a few specimens.  Dozens of their landscapes are exhibited in London, one entire wing of the Tate being devoted to Turner.
