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.
