JMW Turner's work is examined in a new light. Beyond his sublime landscapes, Turner painted machines, science, technology and industry. His life spanned the unfolding Industrial Revolution. This programme argues that Turner created a whole new kind of art, by examining nine key works in the light of the scientific and Industrial Revolution. Includes interviews with historian Simon Schama and artist Tracey Emin.
The Genius of Turner: Painting the Industrial Revolution was directed by Clare Beavan.
The Genius of Turner: Painting the Industrial Revolution runs for 1h 0min, and was released in 2013.
