TURNER & CONSTABLE: THE GENIUS OF LANDSCAPE illustrated talk

Wonderfully illustrated talk with popular Monmouthshire lecturer, Eleanor Bird, celebrating two of the greatest British artists we’ve ever known who were born a year apart, 250 years ago.
From different backgrounds and with different styles, and fierce rivals in their time, Turner and Constable both developed landscape painting into so much more than a mere record of land and sea. Eleanor explores not just their lives and work but how they elevated landscape art into an exploration of light and into a medium for expressing emotion – as Constable put it, “Painting is but another word for feeling”.
