Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Constable represents the very best of pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion through landscape. Critics of the time compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’.
