Mr. Turner explores the last quarter century of the great if
eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851). Profoundly affected by the
death of his father, loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and
occasionally exploits sexually, he forms a close relationship with a seaside
landlady with whom he eventually lives incognito in Chelsea, where he dies. Throughout
this, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels,
is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself
strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both
celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.
