Mr Turner and his Queen Anne Street Gallery

[@cynthiamadrid1430]

I own this movie. Watched it over and over....Timothy Spall deserved every bit of his Academy Award for Best Actor. To be a great Artist ,one chooses a selfish course and this movie projects his genius and like.

[@pollyfoofoo8703]

Excellent film. Mike Leigh is a genius and surrounds himself with brilliant, competent people. I love how i am transported to another time in Turner, and TopsyTurvy.

[@ElmwoodParkHulk]

Wow the dedication and hard work by everyone , so impressive

[@vanessainnes-wagstaff7511]

my favourite inspiration for painting all round, the pace of the film is beautiful and I love the sets....

[@alangardner8596]

I was delighted to find that Turner did a painting of a lake just a few yards from my house. He also did a drawing of a local castle where I picnic with the family. A few miles away there is the remains of a hall where he frequently stayed and painted and drew in the area. I once was a keen artist and it's lovely to think I have frequently stood on the same spot as this great British artist.

WAAAAY Ahead of French Impressionism! 'Late Turner'...Good God! ..PERFECTION?! The Perfect Point in Art History.

[@carolking6355]

Really interesting. Have watched the movie 3 times already. After watching this I will view the movie again in a new way. Spall is a great actor.

[@roberte207]

Great to see such a bunch of talented people at work

[@katherandefy]

The level of abstraction and sheer skill of Turner !- I mean obvsly he was a genius in oils like Einstein was in physics theory. Seriously both had their jaw dropping talents they developed from very young indeed.

[@mitzinicoleritter211]

Quickly became one of my favorite films!

[@infowazz]

I can't recall if i saw this or not. surely i would remember. the actor is amazing. Turner is amazing and i feel lucky to have seen his work in museums. the texture and tones are awe inspiring. i wish i was more passionate about painting when i was younger but i'm still in my 40s and have a lot of time left. i always had a calling to paint and express my feelings. currently stuck in landscapes and plein air. i had successes during school that let me know i have some talent in me. nowadays its much easier to sell your art. so many websites. ebay is still a possibility as long as your work appeals to someone. it is the lowest $$$ value but the fastest to get paid. know your niche and what people want. if i ever need quick money i know i can go there. being a perfectionist is torture and limits me so much, its torture. so many unfinished paintings that i end up painting over later. saatchi art is a good site for more $$$. there is a girl in California that sells for 30K and has her own gallery. she is like a modern day Van Gogh with Monet mixed in and she's not copying. Erin Hanson is her name, so good.

fantástica producción visual,hasta el minimo detalle de las casas,vestidos,peinados recrean la época.felicidades

[@raimonds007]

Great and very influential brave artist of His time. As well the film with Timothy Spall & Co have made a good and deeply emotional sceenary of the original lifestory.

[@nixbronowski5822]

Original..and Addictive

[@rachidbenali6105]

very good the movements from the brush the intensity is played amezhingly good He is a great actor

[@billythedog-309]

l love it when a film maker has taken pains to get a feel of historical accuracy as here. So many offerings of Hollywood have been very lacking in this area.

[@robertsimoneau5232]

Somebody said first study the works of God then study the works of Turner ... The Artist of Light

[@nejafeja]

fascinating insight! thank you

[@billyrussell5148]

The statement made by Dick Pope that Fishermen At Sea was the first painting which Turner had had accepted and exhibited at the Royal Academy is incorrect. Fishermen At Sea was the first painting using the medium of oil which Turner had had accepted and exhibited at the Royal Academy. Prior to that Turner had successfully exhibited watercolour paintings at the Academy.

[@jonathanmann5227]

As much as I love the Impressionists, surely this man, the great Turner invented it.

[@michaelboyle7668]

Timothy spall outstanding actor.

[@WarrenFahyAuthor]

Love Turner...

[@chefskiss6179]

I really liked this film but always lamented the fact that they never presented it open matte/full screen. I get the cinematic quality of having it letter-boxed, but it is just too narrow a view, especially when you consider it's Turner of all people that is being depicted. Still, a beautiful film.

[@kidmohair8151]

can anyone tell who the artist called Heydon(?) in the film, is? a quick search has lead me nowhere.

[@kidmohair8151]

nevermind....found him...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Haydon

[@meredith7236]

Brilliant actor I lived this movie

[@mytinplaterailway]

The copyright thing is a bit confusing. Seems more like protectionism.

[@alenaspratekova7726]

Csodálatos munka...

[@kidmohair8151]

does anyone know if Mr Spall has kept on painting?

[@ColonelRoge]

I’m sure he said he’s still painting when he traveled round England on his boat with his wife. It was a series on ether the BBC or channel 4 I which one I can’t remember, apologies.

[@Pirtula]

the best movie ever

[@edwardgyu7990]

Just wondering if historically that the gallery use such red to exhibit the paintings? It just looks too much for a background color to me, maybe it is much muted in real life

[@ironfistarrival]

Oh yeah babe !

Props to the reproduction painters. It is hard to be someone else.

[@jonjonsson6323]

The interesting thing is that tom keating , who both restored and made forgeries for years, claims that most turner isnt oil - they are tempera with oil on. I dont say hes correct, but he had absolutelly no reason to lie. That aside, hog bristles is stiff, not necessarily coarse or make marks. If they do, its either a poor painter or a desired effect by choice.

[@jonjonsson6323]

I disagree as its quite impossible to separate tempera vs oil paintings if the painter has done his or her job mainly because I as for many, use egg with oil as well as with tempera. When you oil out , the oil will be drawn in to the underlying layer, and thus simulate an oil paint. Oil paint in its purest form is only pigment and oil, let it be safflower, walnut, linseed etc , the only things varying is egg, wich IS used in oil paintings occasionally. Depending on the tempera binder, the only way to really distinguish oil from tempera is wether it contain something you would not expect. Since turner used bitumen and all kinds of stuff, it’s a bit difficult to say “ this is right “ because one has an education degree. For this subject I tend to rely on keating more as he had acess to more paintings than many see in a lifetime, and he didn’t have a reason to lie as he already was exposed. Regarding his own works, keating himself didn’t believe he was a particularly good painter but they still sell.

[@jonjonsson6323]

@1978ajax it is not about him not using it, it is that people treat the paintings as either not by turner , or restore them to death as they do not understand the mediums

[@jonjonsson6323]

@1978ajax not really, i think it is the other way around actually,, you seem very narrow minded and too uneducated to have this conversation at all as you have already concluded your view is the correct , whereas you did not even understand the subject

[@jonjonsson6323]

@1978ajax i am not really sad about that , bye

[@1977ajax]

@@jonjonsson6323 Haven't understood a word I said. Not one response from you relevant or even comprehensible.

[@raolhooley]

leigh over eggs his character studies

[@LJD25]

Turner never handled a brush like this. The whole thing is so constipated.

[@PauloConstantino167]

Fools.

[@jakemoo7553]

Turner was actually a failed painter and decorator. Apparently used too much primer.
