Synopsis

The sixth volume of John Constable's Correspondence presents letters exchanged between John Constable and the Fisher family, whose friendship played a pivotal role in his life and career. The correspondence reveals the depth of these relationships, especially with Archdeacon John Fisher, his friend, confidant, critic, patron, and supporter, combining personal warmth with thoughtful discussions of art, nature, and creativity. The letters underscore Constable's belief in faithful representation and his commitment to capturing the truth of the natural world. The letters follow the creation of many of Constable's most famous works and provide further insight into his development as a landscape painter. In addition to offering a rich insight into Constable and his circle, the volume also provides a vivid historical record of the period. Edited with an introduction and notes by R.B. Beckett.
