Turner In Switzerland - Travel Video.

VHS/NTSC. Switzerland and its mountains have attracted many artists, and J.M.W. Turner was one of the most famous artists to ever paint the Swiss countryside. Turner produced hundreds of sketches and watercolors. Though small in size - they were painted on notebooks - these may be the greatest works an artist ever dedicated to Switzerland.

It also tells the story of a great painter, and rediscovers a romantic Switzerland, with beautiful images of waterfalls, snows, towns, lakes and mountains. c2001. 50 minutes.
