Lord Frederic Leighton

(British, 1830–1896)

Lord Frederic Leighton was a British painter known for his Neoclassical depictions of biblical and mythological scenes, as in his Flaming June (1895). The Victorian artist made many oil studies in preparation for his large-scale finished works, often traveling to the Middle East and Italy for subject matter. “Art is the utterance of our delight in the phenomena of life and nature and an endeavor to communicate to others and perpetuate that delight,” he once said. Born on December 3, 1830 in Scarborough, United Kingdom, Leighton received his artistic training from Edward Jakob von Steinle and Giovanni Costa, followed by a brief period spent in Florence, and several years in Paris where he met Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. In 1860, he settled in London where he become an associate of the Royal Academy, and later president, a position he held for nearly two decades. Though he shared many of their interests and associated with some members, Leighton was never a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The artist died on January 25, 1896 in London, United Kingdom. Today, his works are held in the collections of the National Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico, among others.
