David Lucas; John Constable

David Lucas and John Constable were artists documented as active between 1802 and 1830. Their artistic output focused on landscape subjects, particularly through the medium of printmaking. The collaboration, which often involved Lucas creating prints based on Constable’s compositions, resulted in a body of work represented by 15 high-quality prints preserved in museum collections.

These institutional holdings showcase a focus on specific topographical and architectural subjects. Notable documented works include the major landscape views of Hadleigh Castle and Stoke-by-Neyland, alongside more localized scenes such as A Mill, A Summerland, and Mill near Brighton.

A significant portion of their work is currently held by the National Gallery of Art, establishing the historical and cultural relevance of the partnership. The documentation of these museum-quality works ensures that these landscape studies remain accessible for research, often available today as downloadable artwork.
