Rather like Waterhouse, and Herbert Draper, Leighton the man has
virtually disappeared. The reasons for the continuing popularity of the artist’s
work are not difficult to understand, as they are similar to those in his
lifetime, namely nostalgia for an elegant chivalrous past. Leighton was also a
fastidious craftsman, producing highly- finished, beautifully painted,
decorative pictures. It would appear that Edmund Blair Leighton left no diaries,
and I have been unable to locate any mention of him in biographies, and though
Edmund Blair Leighton exhibited at the Royal Academy for over forty years,
Edmund Blair Leighton was never an Academician or an Associate. I set out below
such information as I have been able to accumulate on the elusive Leighton.

| He commenced exhibiting in 1874, and succeeded, four years later, in securing the verdict of the Hanging Committee of the Royal Academy in favour of two works, entitled respectively ‘Witness My Act and Seal,’ and ‘A Flaw in the Title.’ Since then his highly wrought style was regularly represented at Burlington House until two years prior to his decease. Among the better known of his pictures, many of which were published, may be named ‘The Dying Copernicus (1880), To Arms (1888), Lay thy sweet hand in mine and trust in me ( 1891), Lady Godiva (1892), Two Strings (1893), Launched in Life (1894), The Accolade (1901), Tristram and Isolde (1907), The Dedication (1908), The Shadow (1909), ‘To the Unknown Land (1911),’ and ‘The Boyhood of Alfred The Great,’ 1913. For the past dozen years or so, Mr E Blair Leighton had been a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. Edmund Blair Leighton had married in 1885, Miss Katherine Nash, by whom Edmund Blair Leighton had, with a daughter, one son, Mr E J Blair Leighton, who has also adopted painting as a profession. |

Appeal of The Work of Edmund Blair Leighton. This short comment regarding the work of Leighton was written in 1897, by Gleeson White, a writer and journalist on art. |

"The artist
selects as a rule themes which offer an
excuse for old-world costume, and an easily
read anecdote. To place Mr E Blair
Leighton's work in a class to which it makes
no pretence to belong, or to contrast it
with the masterpieces of the past, or even
of the present, would be to do it an
injustice. It is the pictorial equivalent of
light literature, of belles letters, of
graceful novels and vers de societe, of much
that is charming of its kind, if by its very
nature ephemeral." This is a very perceptive comment about the work of Edmund Blair Leighton, which has always struck me as being like elegantly crafted light music. I think that the writer, who called Leighton's work ephemeral, would be rather surprised by its enduring appeal. |
