Frederic Leighton

English, 1830–1896

Frederic Leighton (1830–1896) war ein britischer Maler, Zeichner und Bildhauer, dessen Werke sich auf historische, biblische und klassische Themen in einem akademischen Stil konzentrierten. Geboren in Scarborough in eine wohlhabende Familie, studierte er Kunst in Europa und reiste sein Leben lang viel. Leighton wurde 1878 Präsident der Royal Academy und war bekannt für seine Verbindung zu den Prä-Raffaeliten. Ihm wurde ein erbliches Adelsrecht verliehen, das mit seinem Tod erlosch und somit das kürzeste in der Geschichte war.
