EOS New: Turner and Constable

Directed by David Bickerstaff

The incredible story of Britain’s greatest landscape artists and their fierce rivalry, made in close collaboration with Tate Britain to celebrate the 250th anniversary of their births.

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 February so that you can enjoy both 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.
