Leighton_-_Voctiorian

Leighton - Voctiorian Frederic, Lord Leighton was - and still is - an important and influential Victorian artist. During the Nineteenth century, Leighton reigned as one of the most fashionable and significant painters of his time. Indeed, he was so well regarded as a painter that he was made President of the Royal Academy in 1878. And the reason that Lord Leighton was so successful during his lifetime is simple - his paintings brilliantly captured the Victorian nostalgia and longing for the glorious "Golden Age" of ancient Greece and leighton, during, works, victorian, time, painter, one, nineteenth, made, lord, century, artist, yourself, vision, technique, successful, simple, significant, sensibilities, sense, selecting, sea, royal, rome, remarkable, reigned, regarded, reason, president, picking, perfectly, pebbles, past, paintings, painting
