CASTLE ACRE PRIORY is a 1850 by John Constable, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows the ruins at Castle Acre Priory. John Constable made it in the mid-1800s using mezzotint, a print technique. Constable didn’t just print his own work. He guided another artist to turn his paintings and sketches into these prints. The series became one of the most important mezzotint collections ever. Look up the artist behind the print technique.
