Description

Rare autograph of Romantic landscape artist John Constable, who revolutionized the genre in England

Celebrated English landscape painter in the Romantic tradition (1776–1837) who revolutionized the genre with his vivid portrayals of rural life around Dedham Vale. Rare ink signature, "John Constable, A.R.A.,” on an off-white 4.25 x .75 slip, double-matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 10 x 11. In fine condition.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
