Nicola Moorby is an independent art historian and curator specialising in British art of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly J. M. W. Turner, British watercolour, and early British modernism.
“Highly enjoyable and sharply written. . . . Moorby sets out to examine the artists ‘side by side instead of face to face’ and helps us to see them in a refreshingly new light.”—Bendor Grosvenor, Times (UK) “Sorting fact from fiction, Moorby offers a fresh perspective on [Turner and Constable’s] careers while simultaneously charting the triumph of British landscape painting in the 18th century.”—Christie’s “[A] full and perceptive study of two great artists.”—Robin Simon, Literary Review “[Moorby’s] approach, which allows each artist’s work to be illuminated in terms of the other, provides a way of addressing what really matters in any artist’s life story: the work they leave behind.”—Ben Street, Times Literary Supplement “Moorby fuses diverse perspectives in order to preserve the thrill of hagiography without sacrificing integrity to sensationalist accounts.”—Ella Nixon, The Critic
