Synopsis

Accompanying a major UK touring exhibition which includes approximately 60 works by Turner, Constable and their contemporaries from the Tate collection, this richly illustrated book explores the development, variety and innovation of the landscape oil sketch in British art. Appearing in the 1770s, it flourished during the first two decades of the nineteenth century, only to effectively disappear, save for Constable's persistence, during the 1820s. This book examines the techniques of oil sketching, and the often surprising connections that can be drawn between the artists involved.

À propos de l?auteur

Michael Rosenthal studied at the Courtauld Institute, and was Leverhulme Research Fellow at Jesus College, Cambridge, before arriving at Warwick, where, to his surprise, he remained for 35 years. He held various fellowships in Australia and the US, and was lead curator of the Gainsborough exhibition at Tate Britain in 2002. His research concentrated on the arts within British social and cultural histories, mainly of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and he has had an abiding concern with landscape. For some time now, he has been working on colonial art in Australia 1788-1840; about which he is writing a book, The Artless Landscape. Freed from the obligation to extol the virtues of civilised values in a country that has long rejected them, he hopes to spend his retirement visiting Australia, attending race meetings, watching county cricket, and attempting to stave off the extinction of the country pub. _______________________________________________ Anne Lyles is a curator at Tate Britain specialising in late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century landscape painting. After stints in the prints and drawings departments of the Victoria & Albert and British Museums, she was recruited to work at the Tate Gallery in 1987 on the art of J.M.W. Turner. In addition to Turner, she is a specialist in John Constable and also the art of the British watercolour school c. 1750-1850. Her publications include The Great Age of British Watercolours 1750-1880 (Royal Academy of Arts and National Gallery of Art, Washington, 1993), British Watercolours from the Oppé Collection ( Tate Gallery, 1997) and Constable: the Great Landscapes (Tate Britain, 2006).
