Melancholy poses and stormy surroundings characterize Jack Vettriano’s “Elegy for a Dead Admiral.” Vettriano sets the painting’s moody atmosphere with expert use of color, somber composition, and an absorbing storyline. Breaking sales records at Sotheby’s, Vettriano is known as “The People’s Painter,” and is Britain’s favorite living artist. Creatively inspired by emotional discomfort, Vettriano often paints to the requiems of Leonard Cohen.
The popularity of Britain’s self-taught Jack Vettriano earned him the nickname “The People’s Painter.” Originally from a Scottish town where he planned to work as an engineer, Vettriano fell in love with art. In creating his art, he listens to music that makes him feel uncomfortable to create a mood that fuels his edgy, mysterious creations. Vettriano’s sales broke a record at Scotland Sotheby’s, and he has outsold Dali, Van Gogh and Monet.
This art print displays sharp, vivid images with a high degree of color accuracy. A member of the versatile family of art prints, this high-quality reproduction represents the best of both worlds: quality and affordability. Art prints are created on paper similar to that of a postcard or greeting card using an offset lithography press.
