Mezzotinto in black ink executed in 1831/33 Polygraphicum4Constable.jpg
Cf. Shirley 28 Wedmore 19 Barnard 19
The plates from English Landscape Scenery are amongst the greatest examples in the History of the
English Print of the creative use of mezzotint.They are also an extraordinary illustration of the co-operation
which is possible between two artists.
Constable wanted to work in mezzotint as it was a medium he felt would bring out to the full the concept of
the 'chiaroscuro of nature' which was central to his art.Since he didn't feel able himself of executing the plates
he collaborated with a young and very gifted engraver David Lucas.
Lucas worked up the proofs and Constable retouched the nuances of light,shade and atmosphere.
