The gentleman on the right is arguably one of the most famous artists in British Art History. Acclaimed for his English landscapes painted in rich oils, such as the Haywain and Dedham Mill, many people do not know that John Constable also excelled in painting portraits too and in his early years, as a talented limner, he principally earned his living, painting portrait commissions for many of the the landed gentry and wealthy merchants of Great Britain. Here at the Freemanart Consultancy, every year we see many paintings of all subjects and each one of them of varying different qualities claiming to be by John Constable, and it has to be said, many of them are signed with that famous name. The problem is that his fashionable style was so emulated by artists of his time, due to his commercial status and the public demand for his paintings, that many previously unsigned works simply created by his followers, suddenly grow the famous John Constable signature during their journey through time and actually have nothing in common with Constable at all. They are just a product of dubious art dealers somewhere back in time, people who added a Constable signature to increase the value of the work, yet in reality, they are designed to deceive and to defraud a potential buyer. As art authentication investigation and research experts, we have been investigating many potential John Constable works of art for well over four and a half decades and see many examples of this particular type of art fraud. Its the most common form of faking we see.

A Fake John Constable by clever British forger Tom Keating |
A modern day forger of John Constable paintings was an infamous artist called Tom Keating. Seen as a lovable British rogue by many and as a crook by many more, even though he did leave valuable clues as to the legitimacy of his 'John Constable variations', literally on the painting itself. In reality, it's not known just how many Constable fakes Tom Keating introduced on to the art market and exactly how many of them have been identified as forgeries? But Keating was exceptionally good at what he did and even went on to make a Television series in which one programme was dedicated to how to paint just like Constable! Believe it or not, today, even Tom Keating's fakes are faked ! |

The variation in the subject matter and the style of John Constable's works as he developed is very wide ranging. From portraits to architectural studies in pen and ink drawn on paper. From animal paintings, to mountainous landscapes, even beach and marine scenes. All formed part of his oeuvres.

CONSTABLE FAKES There are both very good and bad Constable fakes, just as there are both good and bad Constable attributions. Particularly when it comes to buying at auction. Do remember, an attribution is only someone's opinion and it's an opinion that it 'may be' or 'may just possibly be by the artist. It is not a statement of fact nor any form of guarantee that it is by the artist. If you are unsure, we are here to help and advise you in such matters, BUT before you bid!

John Constable painted portraits, seascapes, landscapes, drew in pen and ink wash, created marine works and even floral studies
Some sound advise before pursuing complex John Constable art authentication investigations.
Step one in the Art Authentication Investigation Process The Pre-Authentication Assessment Clik The Pre-Authentication Assessment DIRECT LINK .
L'évaluation de pré-authentification. La evaluación previa a la autenticación
If you are seriously considering having any work of art authenticated, we strongly advise all prospective clients, that before you decide to move on with a full investigation of legitimacy, or seeking the identification and confirmation of an attribution to a particular artist, that a fully impartial, preliminary assessment of the viability of doing so is conducted by us first. This is much the same as a lawyer would address, assess and balance all the elements of a legal case and measure the prospects of success for you, but well before he would present it in a court of law. A professional advisory service and one that we offer to all our clients.
Having chosen to take this sensible, well tried and tested route, you should then have a far clearer understanding of the prospects of success in your case, as well as recognising any pitfalls that you may face. Simply put, view this as your safety net before you move on. This is a totally logical and cost effective professional assessment for which there is a modest set fee and is covered extensively in our FAQ's
*Please see our FAQ section by clicking the link below which explains this preliminary assessment process in far greater detail.
We will respond to you promptly

Moreover these are an across the board, representational view of the differing types of works that are, or may in the future be offered and advertised for sale at auction internationally. Works that either are by Constable, or are claiming to be by John Constable, or simply described as by a follower or just an admirer of Constable imitating his style.
