Tate Britain Is Hosting a Major Exhibition on Turner and Constable

In the 250th year of their births, Tate Britain is hosting a major exhibition on J.M.W. Turner and John Constable, two of Britain’s greatest artists who were born within a year of each other and who used different visions of landscape art to reflect the changing world around them. Turner and Constable: Rivals and Originals explores the intertwined lives and legacies of these artistic rivals – critics compared their paintings to a clash of ‘fire and water’ – with over 170 paintings and paper works display, alongside intimate insights from sketchbooks and personal items.
