Hi Guys,

As I'm writing my thesis on artist biopics, supplemented with a case study of Mr. Turner (2014) I was (DESPERATELY) looking for a list of the works of art (by his hand) shown in the movie. I'm concerned mostly with the paintings which he can be seen working on. I've searched the screenplay and it mostly notes it as follows:

" Turner is painting in his studio "except for one scene ("He is painting 'Norham Castle, Sunrise"), so it's kind of impossible for me to identify eacht single work.

Any help is welcome and greatly appreciated!

This may not be much help but here is a website moderated by the BBC:

This is a catalogue of all of Turner's paintings which belong to the nation. If the end of the movie is to be believed, that's the whole lot! At any rate there are 392 of them on here, and this could be helpful in identifying some of the paintings in the film.

Thanks a bunch! Was thinking of the same solution as there doesn't seem to be a list such as I am looking for. I'll have to make do with this approach. Thanks again and if there does exist a list, I'm anxious to learn about it.
