However according to the movie, and at least some of this Wikipedia endorses, this overweight, unfortunate looking man was quite a womaniser with at least 2 or possibly 3 lovers simultaneously. It didn't appear to be his looks or his conversation (mostly grunts) that created his sexual charisma
Last night Tony and I went to see movie "Mr Turner" which was described as a "myopic epic". It was loosely based on the last 25 years of JWM (called William) Turners life. There is no doubting Turner's artistic talent - some of his paintings hang in National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. He was considered the father of English impressionists - a bit ahead of the Frnch impressionists such as Renoir. This picture is one of the trains coming through the countryside. This was shown quite evocatively in movie - with the steam from train obliterating the views of the country . . .
He was very popular until such time as the young Queen Victoria said she didn't like them - then he lost quite a lot of patronage.
