Marking the 250th anniversary of their births, this landmark event explores the rivalry between Turner and Constable while comparing their different approaches to landscape art. Sharing a deep connection to nature, Constable’s subdued paintings of beloved places and Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime later works were described by art critics as a clash of “fire and water”.
