Good to know more about Turner in terms of the content of his painting rather than the form. A painter embracing the modern world and its technology. Surprised at the relationship between Turner and Faraday. "For Turner, industry becomes the sublime."
"This, then, is JMW Turner, Britain's great Romantic landscape painter, who delivered to us a visionary story of the Industrial Revolution. Who painted nature, and at the same time revealed the wonders of science and invention." Narrated by Samuel West.

前期受克洛德洛兰的影响描绘“光影”，后期受工业时代的驱使描绘“气氛”，前后不变的是创作的激情。可以和迈克李的《透纳先生》一起看，组个套餐。

与时俱进
片中特意提到一点，透纳入读皇家艺术研究院学校时，Royal Academy和Royal Society都驻在Somerset House里，两家同屋为邻几十年。试想透纳在这边厅里操着伦敦方言局促不安地讲透视画法，一墙之隔是他的好朋友法拉第眉飞色舞地讲电磁感应，这种艺术和科学水乳交融的场景，浪漫又牛逼。
