Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new Exhibition on Screen film screening at Chepstow's Drill Hall on Thursday 12 March 7.30pm, explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the current groundbreaking Tate exhibition.

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 has brought these two greats together in an acclaimed, landmark, “5 star” exhibition which runs until April 12. Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen so that both film and exhibition can be enjoyed together

Raised in the gritty heart of Georgian London, Turner quickly became a young star of the art world despite his humble beginnings. Meanwhile Constable was equally determined to forge his own path as an artist but faced a longer, more arduous rise to acclaim. Though from different worlds, both artists were united in their desire to transform landscape painting for the better.

With the two painters vying for success through very different but equally bold approaches, the scene was soon set for a heady rivalry within the competitive world of landscape art. 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.

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. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.
