Which school was inspired by Constable's work?

  • Barbizon

  • Impressionist

  • Pre-Raphaelite

  • Cubist

Answer

The Barbizon school, an influential art movement in the mid-19th century, drew inspiration from the works of John Constable. Constable's landscapes, known for their naturalism and atmospheric effects, resonated with the Barbizon painters, who sought to capture the beauty and tranquility of the French countryside. They adopted Constable's techniques, such as plein air painting and the use of soft, muted colors, to create their own distinctive style of landscape painting.
