In the 1830s, Constable supervised Lucas in the production of mezzotints after forty of his works that he felt epitomized different aspects of the British countryside. One of Constable’s most popular paintings, <em>The Cornfield</em> was acquired by subscription from the artist’s estate and donated to the National Gallery, London.","remarks":"K2 corridor: “The Artful Disposition of Shades”: The Great Age of British Mezzotints; (see K1-3 Gallery Rotation Oct 2015 label for slightly altered text) "}],"datebegin":1832,"sortnumber":"2004    3","published_date":"2026-05-08 02:00:47.379273","objectid":42321,"dimensions":"image: 57.3 x 49.2 cm.
