John Constable: Landscapes of the Soul
La Venaria
Turin | ItalyReggia di Venaria continues its insight journey into the landscape theme, which took off in 2021, widening the horizon to include Europe and proposing, first time ever in Italy, an extraordinary exhibition dedicated to John Constable (1776-1837), the celebrated English artist.
John Constable, the master who, along with Turner, is the leading figure of Romantic English painting, is the protagonist of an exhibition that tells, and chronologically retraces, the whole artistic career of the renowned painter through the works from Tate, UK.
The exhibit showcases around sixty works, ranging from sketches and, precociously impressionist, small-format en plein air paintings, to the most important and vast Romantic landscapes, such as the famous view of Stratford Mill, depicting places in the neighbourhood of the village where he was born, Dedham Vale, in Suffolk. Places of affection, which deeply touched the feelings of this great painter who, unlike fellow artist Turner, great traveller, never leaves his beloved England and depicts Nature in a “picturesque” way, just to quote the famous Aesthetics terminology by philosopher Immanuel Kant.
