This is the first modern book about the artist David Wilkie (1785-1841), the first British painter to become an international celebrity. Based on extensive original research, the book explores the ways in which Wilkie’s images, so beloved by his contemporaries, engaged with a range of cultural predicaments close to their hearts.
