The Genius of Turner: Painting the Industrial Revolution

2013 · 60 min History Documentary
7.0 / 10 · TMDB

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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Genius of Turner: Painting the Industrial Revolution is a solid entry rated 7.0/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

A 2013 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
