The Constable bequest: A legacy of inspiration
About the event
Join us in the Learning Centre with Senior Curator of Paintings and Drawings, Dr Jenny Gaschke, as we explore the lasting legacy of John Constable - 250 years after his birth - and how his daughter, Isabel, generously gave some of her father’s studio contents to the V&A in 1888. This event is free but ticketed. Booking is essential. Please meet at Seminar Room 1 in the Learning Centre at V&A South Kensington. Tea and coffee will be provided afterwards. October 12th – 16th is the V&A’s Legacy Week! Discover how gifts in wills make a lasting impact at the V&A and how you could share your love for our family of museums by leaving a gift in your Will. For more information, please contact our Legacy Team at legacy@vam.ac.uk or by phone at +44 20 7942 2716. Image is ‘View of Lower Terrace,’ by John Constable, circa 1822, Great Britain.
