BBC Documentaries - The Genius of Turner: Painting the Industrial Revolution

Seizoen: 2013 - Aflevering: 80 / 2115 - Eerst uitgezonden: 26 april 2013 - Episode ID: 750580

A film that looks at the genius of JMW Turner in a new light. There is more to Turner than his sublime landscapes - he also painted machines, science, technology and industry. Turner's life spans the Industrial Revolution, he witnessed it as it unfolded and he painted it. In the process he created a whole new kind of art. The programme examines nine key Turner paintings and shows how we should re-think them in the light of the scientific and Industrial Revolution. Includes interviews with historian Simon Schama and artist Tracey Emin.
