Frederic Leighton

English, 1830–1896

Frederic Leighton (1830–1896) était un peintre, dessinateur et sculpteur britannique dont les œuvres se concentraient sur des thèmes historiques, bibliques et classiques dans un style académique. Né à Scarborough dans une famille aisée, il a étudié l'art en Europe et a beaucoup voyagé tout au long de sa vie. Leighton est devenu Président de la Royal Academy en 1878 et était connu pour son association avec les Pré-Raphaélites. Il a reçu un titre de noblesse héréditaire qui est devenu éteint à sa mort, ce qui en fait le plus court de l'histoire.
