She’s curating the big winter exhibition at Tate Britain this year, Turner & Constable: Rivals & Originals, which opens on November 27. So when the Tate invited me to explore their old stomping grounds, starting with Constable’s in the Stour Valley, I jumped. In the Stour Valley, on the Suffolk-Essex border — and in Margate, on the Kent coast. According to the National Trust, more than 200,000 people a year visit the buildings it preserves at Flatford Mill. And if you need to warm up your eyes beforehand, Turner and Constable will be standing by at Tate Britain.
