John Constable (1776-1837) Even as the Industrial Revolution was transforming the land, the beauties of English countryside found their loftiest celebration in the landscapes of John Constable, England’s other great romantic painter. In sharp contrast to that of Turner, his nature was pecularly harmonious, well maintained, and rich in spiritual values. The first artist of importance to paint outdoor, the bright pure colors of this 1821 masterpiece had a powerful impact on young French painters like Delacroix (Reproduced by courtesy of Trustees, The National Gallery London)

Here she captures with tender realism an attentive mother and her squirming child on a hot afternoon outing. Cassatt helped many French impressionists by successfully encouraging American collectors to buy their paintings. (National Gallery of Art, Washington Chester Dale Collection)
