‘There’s an immediacy and a spontaneity to the sketches that you just don’t see in his exhibition pictures’ In an interview with Senior Curator, Daniel Robbins, Christie's explores the colourful history of Leighton's love for painting landscapes in far-off locations, from the Scottish Highlands to the Sahara Desert.

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday evening for the Exhibition Private View of Leighton and Landscape: Impressions from Nature (opening Saturday 16 November). 🎨 https://lnkd.in/eepYFWVQ The evening concluded with a Capri themed private dinner in Leighton's Studio for exhibition supporters and lenders. Inspired by the (free to visit) display in the Tavolozza Drawings Gallery dedicated to Leighton's landscapes of Capri, "the island of his heart". Pairing with Leighton's vibrant depictions of Capri Carthusia I Profumi di Capri room diffuser by the gallery brings the essence of Capri to life with fresh notes of lemon leaves and green tea in the scent, Mediterraneo. Carthusia – The Scents of Capri – proudly sponsors Leighton and Landscape: Capri. The exhibition and its accompanying publication have been generously supported by The Albert Dawson Educational Trust, The Foyle Foundation, The Cosman Keller Art & Music Trust, The Finnis Scott Foundation, the Exhibition Circle and The Friends of Leighton House. #LeightonLandscape #FredericLeighton #Travel #VictorianArtist #LandscapeSketches #Landscapes #Cadiz #Spain #LandscapePainting #FredericLeighton #PleinAir

At the 2023 edition of TEFAF Maastricht, Gallery 19 C presented Frederic Leighton’s preparatory oil sketch for his famed “Flaming June.” One of the most esteemed British artists of his time and President at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, Leighton was equally dedicated to his art as he was to the construction of his studio-house in London’s Holland Park, which includes spaces for living, working, entertaining, and the display of Leighton’s personal collection, embodying the contemporary idea of how a great artist should live. The home is now open to the public as Leighton House, a museum dedicated to restoring the artist’s residence to its 19th-century grandeur and the return of works from Leighton’s collection. The small color study—measuring smaller than a postcard—was acquired during the final days of the fair and subsequently gifted to Leighton House. “If you had asked us when we acquired the work where we hoped it would end up, it surely would have been Leighton House. The work now being part of the collection is a dream and the pinnacle of what we do as a gallery,” say Eric Weider and Polly Sartori of Gallery 19 C. The sketch is now the centerpiece of a new display at Leighton House: “I hope visitors take away from our new display a better sense of who Leighton was, what he created, and his place and role within the Victorian art world of his time. His story tells that of the artist’s status transforming from a peripheral figure to being recognized as a valued and honored person in society,” shares Daniel Robbins, senior curator at Leighton House.
