SPRING is a 1830 by John Constable, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print is part of *English Landscape*, a significant series of 22 mezzotints supervised by John Constable and engraved by David Lucas between 1830 and 1832, with later editions and additions. The series aimed to showcase Constable’s landscape works and emphasize the interplay of light and shadow in nature. Lucas’s mezzotints translated Constable’s original paintings into a distinct graphic style, using tonal contrasts and textural effects. The project, though commercially unsuccessful for Constable, remains notable for its technical and artistic collaboration.
