		Leonee and Richard Ormond's monograph about Leighton in 1975 showed the way for a serious scholarly appraisal of his work.(2) However, critical reaction at the time suggested that it was chiefly the social and literary circles in which Leighton moved in four European countries that fired the enthusiasm of the general public.

		An eclectic, cosmopolitan classicist, English Victorian painter Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) continues to delight and surprise with his seductively poetic visions.
		Leighton, elected president of London's Royal Academy in 1878, trained in Florence, Berlin, Rome, Frankfurt and Paris, and by synthesizing diverse influences?Pre-Raphaelites, Venetian masters, the German Nazarene school, French classicism, etc.?he reimagined Greek mythology and the ancient world in boldly dramatic works suffused with mystery.

	Flaming June by Lord Frederic Leighton
		Of all of Frederic Leighton's paintings, Flaming June is perhaps the artist's most recognizable and best loved work.
		Some scholars have suggested that this painting is Leighton's homage to a grand tradition in art history that goes back to Giorgione and Titian, in which images of slumbering women were represented.
		The vibrant orange is complemented by a soft band of blue in the background, and this effective combination of elements is but one of the characteristics that mark this painting as one of Leighton's most accomplished masterpieces.

	Phryne - Frederic Leighton at The Tate Gallery
		Skied at the RA in 1861, it doesn't necessarily please modern critics either: in the press coverage of the Leighton centennial in 1996, a column in the Independent described it as "one of the most odious Victorian paintings in the world." However, there is something modern in this evocation of an imaginary world.
		If history had been less kind to him in the matter of a birthdate, Leighton might perhaps have made some reputation as a designer of covers for L. Ron Hubbard books....
		Hidden among the intended unrealism is a clear drawing error: the white jar (bottom left) is impossibly near to the step behind it.
