About

This Travelling Light - Turner, Constable and the Shape of British Art course offered by The Courtauld Institute of Art will explore a fascinating aspect of British art history, the parallel careers of John Constable and J.M.W. Turner.

Overview

What you will study

  • These giants of landscape painting revolutionised the status of their genre, transforming the depiction of place through empirical experience and emotive response. 
  • However, their approaches were very different. Turner roamed throughout Britain and the Continent in search of inspirational scenery, combining observation of nature with literary and historical references. 
  • By contrast, Constable nurtured his vision at home, rooting himself in the familiar and the everyday. 
  • As well as comparing differences and similarities within their works, this Travelling Light - Turner, Constable and the Shape of British Art course offered by The Courtauld Institute of Art shall examine the wider cultural contexts pertinent to their careers.
