Scottish painter.
Sir David Wilkie (1785-1841) was a genre and portrait painter who gained enormous popularity in his own lifetime through his renderings of rural life and people. Two of Wilkie's paintings that exemplify his focus on rural subjects are Pitlessie fair (1804) and Chelsea pensioners reading the gazette of the Battle of Waterloo (1822). In the mid-1820s Wilkie's style underwent a dramatic shift, progressing from his early genre style to one that contained elements of Romantic boldness. In 1830 Wilkie became the painter to the King of England, a job previously held by Sir Thomas Lawrence. Wilkie traveled to the Holy Land in 1840 and passed away on the ship's return journey. His burial at sea is memorialized in Joseph Mallord William Turner's painting titled, Peace: burial at sea.
