John Constable, Salisbury Cathedral from the Bishop’s Ground, 1823. V&A Museum, London<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ronald Parkison (1945-2012)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“After a brief period as a research assistant at the Paul Mellon Foundation of British Art, Parkinson joined the V&A in 1972 and, but for a four-year stint as an assistant keeper at the Tate Gallery’s British collection in the mid-1970s, spent the rest of his career there. He returned from the Tate in 1978 to be the V&A’s deputy head of education … Longing to get back to research, he reverted in 1987 to the museum’s prints and drawings department as it was then … His speciality remained British painting, and he compiled the V&A’s Catalogue of British Oil Paintings (1820-1860)<\/em> published in 1990. In 1998 came his seminal Constable, The Man and his Art<\/em>, based on his intimate knowledge of the unrivalled Constable collection in the museum, which was so concise and easily accessible that tour guides took to carrying a copy.” (obituary in The Times<\/em>, 13 December 2012)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4164,"template":"","acf":{"date":"20121120","search_field":"Paul Mellon Centre, V&A"},"yoast_head":"\nDeath of Ron Parkinson, curator -
