Constable In Love

📒 Love, Landscape, Money and the Making of a Great Painter. Seven crucial years in Constable`s life - when he flowered as a painter while at the same time wooing the woman he would marry - tell a 19th century story worthy of a Jane Austen novel. John Constable and Maria Bicknell might have been in love but their marriage was a most unlikely prospect. Constable was a penniless painter who would not sacrifice his art, while Maria`s family frowned on such a penurious union. For seven long years the couple were forced to correspond and meet clandestinely. But it was during this period that Constable developed as a painter. Сохранность: Хорошая. 2010 год
