Watch the videohttps://youtu.be/w. Li. N378 TRSg and say if the sentences are true or false. We are visiting The National Gallery in London. The question of artists’ rivalry was always in the air. Who is a better artist-Michelangelo or Da Vinci , Monet or Mane, Turner or Constable? Turner and Constable were titans of the Victorian age. Only Constable painted portraits, religious scenes and landscapes. Turner likes describing dramatic scenes- storms, fires and ship-wrecks. Turner’s works have nothing to do with the industrial revolution. Constable’s pictures are down-to-earth landscapes depicting the country-side. Turner is strong in oil but not in watercolours. Constable concentrates on the facts and details of rural life. The author likes Constable’ s activity more and suggests visiting pictures at the National Gallery for people to decide for themselves.
