Program Description

Event Details

One of Britain's most celebrated artists, Turner showed exceptional artistic talent from an early age and entered the Royal Academy at age fourteen. His expressive coloring and imaginative landscapes astonished viewers; his turbulent, often violent seascapes exposed a darker side of his art. From Simon Schama’s Power of Art series.
