JOHN CONSTABLE (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from John ConstableFor the next few years his time was spent be tween London and Suffolk. In 1797 his father lost a Clerk who had been many years with him, and Constable seems to have made a final but useless attempt to put aside all thoughts of painting except as a recreation. His mother wrote to Smith that they hoped he would now attend to business, by which he will please his father, and ensure his own respectability and comfort but in spite Of many praiseworthy efforts, fate was too strong for him, and in the end he was allowed to renounce the mill for the easel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
