Constable's influence on other artists can be seen in the dramatic lighting of J.M.W. Turner's Fighting Temeraire Tugged to Last Berth, the bold coloring of Eugene Delacroix's Turkish Women Bathing (Wadsworth Atheneum) and the delicate tonal variations of Camille Corot's Italian Landscape (Getty Museum).
