During their lives, critics pitted the two against each other – Constable’s ‘truth’ versus Turner’s ‘poetry’. Despite their differences, both were seen as highly original painters who challenged artistic norms. Their innovations raised the bar for landscape painting and left a lasting legacy. 250 years on from their births, this exhibition traces their creative development, including moments when their work impacted one another’s.
