Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W.
Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year
of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world
around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a
groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and
Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring
their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in March 2026
so that both can be enjoyed together. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these
greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the
first time.
Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes
from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from
home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Critics
compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’.
Marking 250 years since their births, this
unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives
and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition. Discover unexpected
sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and
insights from leading experts. This is not to be missed.
