About this work

John Constable’s *Autumnal Sun Set* is a 1831 print in Romanticism’s landscape style. It’s part of his major series *English Landscape*, made with mezzotint by David Lucas. Constable picked these scenes to show off England’s countryside. The series was big—22 prints total, released in parts from 1830 to 1832. He even tweaked it after the first print run to make it better. If you like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
