Art on the BBC: Constable - The Rural Rebel
Constable - The Rural Rebel
Season 1 Episode 4 of 4
Art historian Rose Balston explores six decades of BBC archive to discover how TV has influenced people's understanding of John Constable. The artist pushed the boundaries of landscape painting, to the extent he was rejected by the establishment. But perhaps just as surprisingly, he poured his love for one woman on to the canvas as no painter of landscapes had done before
Art on the BBC: Constable - The Rural Rebel airs on BBC Four HD at 2:20 AM, Wednesday 10 June. (Subtitles, sign language, finale, series.)
