Sir William Russell Flint was the Artist Laureate to Queen
Victoria at the end of her reign, and while he was highly regarded in his own era as one of
the great artists of the time, his work has largely been forgotten today. However, he left
behind a legacy of extraordinary illustrations on classical themes and we've preserved some
of the best selections in our Flint collection.
If you like Sir William Russell Flint, you will probably also like Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale. You can find
extensive samples of our Brickdale collection at BRICKDALE |
Flint was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and also
by stylized neoclassical art of the Renaissance. Many of his paintings have the appearance of
classical friezes with very stylized composition and beautiful use of rich color and intriguing
details.
Our collection is drawn from Flint's three most famous series of
illustrations, his plates for The Greek Heroes, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Mallory's
Morte d'Arthur. These are among his best and most beautiful works and show his skills in
a variety of styles and themes.
Our Flint package has recently been expanded and many new images
have been added, bringing the total to almost 80 high resolution, large-size images. Because of its size and the high resolution of the images it is only available on CD.
The complete CD is normally $59, but is temporarily on special for only $49. As with all of our collections, the images are licensed
to you for reprint or inclusion in other publications so long as you are not primarily reselling just the
art itself.
