Turner and Constable: Art, Life, Landscape
Autor Nicola Moorbyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 ian 2026
The two men have routinely been seen as polar opposites, not least by their peers. Differing in temperament, background, beliefs, and vision, they created images as dissimilar as their personalities.
Yet in many ways they were fellow travellers. As children of the late eighteenth century, both faced the same challenges and opportunities. Above all, they shared common cause as champions of a distinctively British art. Through their work, they fought for the recognition and appreciation of landscape painting—and in doing so ensured their reputations were forever intertwined and interlinked.
Nicola Moorby offers us a fresh perspective on two extraordinary artists, uncovering the layers of fiction that have embellished and disguised their greatest achievements. For Turner & Constable is not just a tale of two artists; it is also the story of the triumph of landscape painting.

Recenzii
An Art Newspaper Book of the Year 2025
“Moorby astutely explores the parallels in [Turner and Constable’s] practices, highlighting how both men furthered British landscape painting.”—Gareth Harris, Art Newspaper
“Highly enjoyable and sharply written. . . . Moorby sets out to examine the artists ‘side by side instead of face to face’ and helps us to see them in a refreshingly new light.”—Bendor Grosvenor, Times (UK)
“[Moorby’s] approach, which allows each artist’s work to be illuminated in terms of the other, provides a way of addressing what really matters in any artist’s life story: the work they leave behind.”—Ben Street, Times Literary Supplement
A Spectator Art Book of the Year 2025
“Sorting fact from fiction, Moorby offers a fresh perspective on [Turner and Constable’s] careers while simultaneously charting the triumph of British landscape painting in the 18th century.”—Christie’s
“[A] full and perceptive study of two great artists.”—Robin Simon, Literary Review
“Moorby perceptively traces two mutually informative lives and careers, which have been followed individually many times before but never so fully in parallel.”—Andrew Loukes, Art Newspaper
“Moorby fuses diverse perspectives in order to preserve the thrill of hagiography without sacrificing integrity to sensationalist accounts.”—Ella Nixon, The Critic
“Elegantly written . . . deeply satisfying. . . . This book is a reminder that close attention to nature—and to brushstroke—can still move us.”—Megan Fox Kelly, Observer, “Art Books Shaping Summer 2025”
“[Moorby] has read widely and provides generously by way of an introduction to both artists.”—Nicholas Cranfield, Church Times
