John Constable and J.M.W. Turner were influential exponents of Romanticism and its emotional response to Nature. Constable, who primarily stayed in England, preferred the straightforward landscapes of the Suffolk countryside where he grew up. On the other hand, Turner, who traveled extensively, often infused his dramatic and atmospheric "color beginnings" with literary or historical allusions. Although very different stylistically, both greatly influenced progressive artists in France in the 19th century, such as the Barbizon School (Constable) and the Impressionists (Turner).
