1850
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Cornfield near Brighton is a 1850 by John Constable, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This mezzotint by David Lucas after John Constable depicts a cornfield near Brighton. Part of the 1830–32 series *English Landscape*, it reflects Constable’s effort to reinterpret his earlier works through mezzotint, emphasizing chiaroscuro and the interplay of light and shadow. Lucas’s technique translates Constable’s painterly textures and tonal contrasts into a graphic medium. The print belongs to the Lennox-Boyd collection of mezzotints after Constable.
