Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed survey of the life of Sir Frederick Leighton, a British painter who later became President of the Royal Academy. The author delves into Leighton's experiences traveling abroad and how the people he encountered greatly influenced his artistic style.

The author sheds light on Leighton's belief that artists and their work should make society better through their contributions and the beauty they bring into the world. It also examines how his paintings brought back to life scenes from ancient mythology, infused with vigorous color, and executed with impeccable draftsmanship, earning him popularity with both the public and critics alike.
