2008 FREDERICK WILLIAM WATTS (1800-1870)
HAYWAIN ON A COUNTRY ROAD IN A RIVER LANDSCAPE
Oil on canvas
91.5 x 129.5cm.

* Watts may be neatly pigeonholed as an imitator of John Constable but, as this fine panorama demonstrates, he was a painter of considerable talent and developed a character of his own that immediately identifies his work.

Whether he was the boy born in Bath in October 1800 or the child born in St Albans in July 1801, he was undoubtedly the student who entered the Royal Academy schools in 1817, aged seventeen, and who won medals in 1819, 1820 and 1821. He exhibited at The Royal Academy and elsewhere from 1821-1862 (his second wife stated that "he ceased to paint for ten years before his death").

The confusion with Constable arose from Watts living close enough to his mentor in Hampstead to have brushed shoulders with him at the Royal Academy exhibitions. Watts' later style became more deliberately imitative of Constable but he was neither a dependable signer nor a regular inscriber of such works. As a result, they were either ascribed to Constable or identified simply as views in "Constable Country" and so the confusion continued. As early as 1833, one critic thought Watts was "trying to outrun the Constable" but concluded acidly that "he never will ... daub away as he may". Nonetheless, in a rare moment of irony in Constable's distinguished career, one of his own views of Helmingham Dell in Suffolk was unsold at just fifty shillings at Christies when it had been "considered Watts', and at least not certain, if mine" as the nettled Constable later told a friend.

The artist's second wife, Julia, said that her husband "had an humble opinion of his work and talents" although this self deprecation is at odds with Watts' evident empathy with the English countryside that Constable had so admired and which Watts had aspired to interpret afresh in his own idiom.

Watts died of lung disease and complications arising from diabetes at his home in Lawn Road, Hampstead on July 4th 1870.
