Rivals or kindred spirits: how well do we really know Turner and Constable? In this fascinating conversation with Joanne Ooi, art historian Nicola Moorby re-examines two of Britain’s greatest artists, whose lives and work have long been cast as opposites. From the bustling streets of London to the quiet landscapes of Suffolk, their contrasting backgrounds shaped radically different visions of the natural world. Yet beneath the rivalry lies a shared ambition: to elevate landscape painting and define a distinctly British artistic voice. Peeling back layers of myth and reputation, Moorby reveals the surprising connections between these towering figures, and the challenges they faced in changing the course of art. Insightful and richly evocative, this is a fresh look at two artists whose legacies remain deeply intertwined.
