The Life of Sir David Wilkie : With his Journals, Tours, and Critical Remarks on Works of Art

Omtale

Sir David Wilkie (1785–1841) is often called the first truly international British artist. This three-volume biography, published in 1843, two years after Wilkie's sudden death while on a tour of the Mediterranean, and containing extracts from his journals and letters, remains an indispensable source for his life and works.
