The Early Paintings and Drawings of John Constable: Text and Plates (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in Britis)

Art historian Graham Reynolds, one of the leading experts on the painter John Constable and the author of a number of books on the Constable, including Constable: The Natural Painter and Catalogue of the Constable Collection, has produced a scholarly masterpiece in The Early Paintings and Drawings of John Constable. This two-volume opus includes every known work Constable produced between 1790 and 1816, the period that saw Constable discover his own way of looking at the world and his own approach to rendering it on canvas.
