Each year between 1819 and 1825, John Constable (1776-1837)
submitted a monumental canvas to the Royal Academy of Arts in
London for display in the annual Exhibition. These so-called
six-footers vividly captured the life of the River Stour in
Suffolk, where Constable grew up and where he returned to paint
each year. The Leaping Horse, the last of these, now a major work
in the Academy's collection, is the subject of this fascinating new
book. Humphreys explores Constable's often avant-garde working
methods, as well as his struggle to gain full acceptance within the
art establishment of the early nineteenth century. With
reproductions of his full-scale preliminary sketches as well as
brand new photography of the painting itself, this book is the
ideal companion for art lovers who seek a deeper appreciation of
Constable's iconic depictions of the English countryside.
