Frederick Lord Leighton is a 19th century British painter, draftsman, and sculptor. His works depicted historical, biblical, and classical subject matter in an academic style. Leighton succeeded as an artist when Queen Victoria bought his first painting in 1855, allowing him to reach the pinnacle of his profession and became the president of the Royal Academy of Arts. Leighton preferred to paint subject matters connected to ancient Greek and Roman mythology. He intended his painting to be visually beautiful with luminous colors and solidly drawn figures.
