8、howed his first painting in 1802. Constable believed the greatest art came from using the inspiration(灵感) of nature, rather than using various techniques (技巧) and imagination on art. In his lifetime, Constable never had much money. His fame only grew after his death. He was unable to earn a living f
9、rom the paintings. To support his family, Constable often drew portraits(肖像) of others. But it was something he never really enjoyed. He was attracted by the beauty of the British countryside. He sold more paintings in France than in his home country, England, at first. But when given the chance to
10、travel to sell his paintings abroad, he said he would rather “be a poor man in England than a rich man abroad.” Constable died in 1837.

15、own artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images, not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5,1473. The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a castle outside th
16、e city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
