Book Description
In a period when access to fine paintings was restricted, Stubbs's reputation was spread chiefly through his engravings. This catalogue raisonnE is the only single volume to contain all Stubbs's known engravings and provides a complete record of prints made by others after his works. Introductory essays consider Stubbs's relationships with other artists, particularly his engravers, and examine how the prints were originally marketed. Part 1 covers the more important prints issued during Stubbs's lifetime, some of which are published here for the first time. Each of the 218 entries is fully illustrated and accompanied by comparative material. Part 2 comprises 440 supplementary entries and indicates the nature and extent of Stubbs's posthumous reputation. This book also is the first substantial review of the work of a major 18th century British painter by reference to the important, but neglected, medium of reproductive prints.

Book Description
Excerpt from Constable and His Influence on Landscape Painting While, then, no pains have been spared to give an accurate and impartial account of Constable's life and character, the main portion of this book has been devoted, first to tracing briefly the rise of naturalism in landscape up to the time of Constable's youth; then to studying very carefully the influences under which the painter developed his own personal genius, and to examining thoroughly the true character of his achievement; and lastly to considering the variations and extensions of Constable's practice, which have had so much influence, whether for good or for evil, upon the landscape painters of to-day, both in Britain and on the Continent. Such a study cannot be complete without being to some extent technical; and, to make the technical points clear, the work has been illustrated with a long series of photographs taken specially to show the peculiar characteristics of Constable's technique, and the order in which the various elements of his genius were evolved.
