Making 'Mr Turner'

Video: FT

Here's a nice video from the Financial Times' arts editor Jan Dalley about Mike Leigh's new film 'Mr Turner', looking at how it was made, and how Timothy Spall learnt to paint for the role. Leigh gives a touching insight into how hard Spall tried to emulate the great artist.

Also, following my recent rants here and in the FT on how art galleries don't display enough of their collections, check out the below shot of gallery hanging, 19th Century style.
