Frederic Leighton

English, 1830–1896

Frederic Leighton (1830–1896) è stato un pittore, disegnatore e scultore britannico le cui opere si concentravano su temi storici, biblici e classici in uno stile accademico. Nato a Scarborough in una famiglia benestante, studiò arte in Europa e viaggiò ampiamente per tutta la vita. Leighton divenne Presidente della Royal Academy nel 1878 ed era noto per la sua associazione con i Pre-Raffaelliti. Gli fu concesso un titolo nobiliare ereditario che si estinse alla sua morte, diventando il più breve della storia.
