Rent Great Artists Two with Tim Marlow: Constable (1776-1837) (2005)

There have been few more powerful painters of landscape than John Constable. He brought scale, ambition and impact to a subject long considered amongst the lowest forms of art. Constable is often celebrated as a nostalgic painter of a lost England, but look a little harder and you discover an intense and radical vision which changed the course of British art. As well as looking at Constable's most famous works, such as 'The Haywain' and 'Flatford Mill', Tim Marlow explores lesser known works such as the expressive sketch for 'The Leaping Horse'.
