Sir David Wilkie is a biography written by John W. Mollett about the life and work of the Scottish artist Sir David Wilkie. The book provides a detailed account of Wilkie's upbringing and early life in Scotland, his education in Edinburgh and London, and his rise to fame as a painter of genre scenes and historical subjects. Mollett explores Wilkie's artistic influences, including the Dutch and Flemish masters, and his contributions to the development of British painting in the early 19th century. The book also discusses Wilkie's personal life, including his relationships with family, friends, and patrons, as well as his travels throughout Europe and the Middle East. Mollett's biography provides a comprehensive overview of Wilkie's career, from his early successes to his later struggles with illness and financial difficulties. Through a combination of archival research and critical analysis, Sir David Wilkie offers a compelling portrait of one of Britain's most celebrated artists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
