Wilkie and his Circle
The Fine Art Society, New Bond Street 148, London, Mayfair
About
Wilkie and his Circle is an exhibition of paintings, watercolours and etchings by Sir David Wilkie, shown as a forthcoming exhibition at The Fine Art Society. It explores the profound influence of Wilkie on British genre painting, domestic and historical, during his lifetime and throughout the nineteenth century, in which he was regarded as the equal of Turner and Constable. It also looks at his Scottish contemporaries, who followed his lead in subject matter and learned from his technical skills, yet formed an individualistic and disparate group of painters encouraged by his move to London in 1805. The exhibition marks the publication of the first complete catalogue of Wilkie's paintings, David Wilkie: The Complete Paintings, written by Hamish Miles and edited by Alex Kidson.
