Constable in Hampstead review – a darker side to the 250th birthday boy
A small exhibition at Hampstead's Burgh House marks the 250th anniversary of John Constable's birth, featuring three mezzotint prints by David Lucas and an oil study for Constable's painting *Hampstead Heath With a Rainbow*. The show offers a darker, less sentimental perspective on the artist, highlighting his parochial focus on English landscapes and his collaboration with print-maker Lucas.
