John Constable: Oil Sketches from the Victoria and Albert Museum presents a thoughtful look at one of the greatest landscape artists of all time. Organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to investigate the significance of John Constable 's contributions to British art and ultimately to the rise of Romanticism across Europe and North America. The Princeton University Art Museum is one of only two North American venues for this insightful exploration of Constable's working process. Taking his easel into nature, Constable (1776-1837) was one of the first artists to work en plein air, "so as to note the day, the hour, the sunshine and the shade.'" The openness of his brushwork and his concern for passing light effects were enormously influential for subsequent generations of artists, including the Impressionists of late- nineteenth-century France.
