"Frontispiece, to Mr. Constable's English Landscape, East Bergholt, Suffolk" is a 1830 etching by David Lucas, a prominent printmaker of the 19th century. This artwork, currently located at the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as the frontispiece for a collection of John Constable's landscape paintings. Lucas's work captures Constable's characteristic style with detailed rendering of the countryside, particularly notable is the representation of the sky filled with clouds and the surrounding foliage and trees. The etching showcases a peaceful English countryside, a common theme in both Lucas's and Constable's work.
