Constable, John: Web Museum - 1776-1837 The son of a Sussex miller, he had the misfortune to fall in love with landscape painting at a time when the fashion was for heroic historical scenes and portraits. He attended the Academy School in 1799, but wasn't accepted as a full member of the Academy until 1829, and then only after experiencing triumphs in France. Most of his paintings are of his native Sussex, his first masterpiece being Dedham Vale painted in 1811. His goal was to give to one brief moment, caught from fleeting time, a lasting and sober existence. Thumbnail links to 5 paintings. (Added: 07/25/01 Hits: 594 Rating: 10 Votes: 1) Rate It

Turner, Joseph Mallord William: Web Museum - 1775-1851 Joseph Turner had the good fortune to favor fashionable heroic subjects at the beginning of his career, which lead him to full membership in the Royal Academy by the age of 27. He started life in Maiden Lane, behind Covent Garden, the son of a barber. By the age of 12 he was producing pictures that his father displayed and sold from his barber shop. A clerical customer suggested the Academy School, and Turner first attended at 14, exhibiting a watercolor the following year. In 1800 he opened a studio at 64 Hurly Street, which his father ran for him. His later works focused increasingly on wild skies and stormy seas, and confused critics who thought that he laid the color on too thickly and confusedly, and that he combined the colors in ways that violated established precedents. Thumbnails to 2 paintings. (Added: 07/25/01 Hits: 534 Rating: 10 Votes: 2) Rate It
