The objective of this book is to elucidate how the landscape painters of the Romantic era related to studies of nature, how they transformed images during their work with the finished compositions, sometimes retaining their original impressions of nature and at other times completely changing their motif. Taking the art of Turner and Constable as the starting point, the book will trace general trends - parallels as well as differences - in the individual artists’ working processes, pointing out common features as well as individual distinctive marks. This book hopes to be able to shed light on a number of important aspects regarding the painters’ artistic practice: How did individual European artists respond to the challenge presented by open-air painting? And how did this affect the creative process? What significance did the artists attribute to painted studies in their work? Did the studies have different meanings and functions for the painters depending on whether they were preliminary studies for larger paintings or as works of art in their own right?
